DIY Origami Christmas Nativity- The Three Kings

This origami model of the Three Kings was developed to accompany Leyla Torres’ nativity models of Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus. It can be made in three heights so each king is slightly different. The rest of the nativity was built using the instructions at the links below. This model requires a 25 cm x 25 cm (9 7/8 in x 9 7/8 in) piece of paper. To make the face and the hands gold on my models I purchased gold glitter sticker paper from JoAnn’s. I folded the models then unfolded them enough to easily apply the sticker paper, cut the sticker paper to size then applied it. Alternately, you can use a paper that is colored on one side. If you are using a paper colored on one side the face and crown will be the color that is facing up when you start folding. Here are the links for instructions to fold the rest of the nativity:
