Steps to make a 3D Origami Christmas Tree:

Follow these steps to make  Christmas Tree: Once you get the hang of it they are super quick and simple to make. Although I’ve called this project easy it can be a little bit tricky at first (around step 15-16)

  • Start by laying your green square origami paper down and fold this corner up to the top.
  • Fold it in half edge, open your piece of paper back out and then fold it in half again but this time in the other direction as well. Following this step, in fact, fold the whole thing in half.
  • Open back out and fold in half again this time across both diagonals and flip it over.
  • Open out by facing up. Press flat. You should now have a diamond shape and open up the fold.
  • Fold the sides in to meet at the center crease as well.
  • Now you have to flip over and repeat on the other side and you should now have an upside-down kite shape.
  • Open one of the flaps back out and flatten, take the outer edge and collapse it by folding it into the center.
  • Repeat for the other side.
  • Flip it over and repeat the steps for other origami papers of all green with different sizes
  • Green flowers of 6 different sizes you have made now.
  • Take brown paper and follow the video steps to make the lower part of the tree.
  • Starting from the right fold each and cut a line down to make a small triangle.
  • Fold to the left like a page and repeat by folding down each cut line on the right.
  • Keep folding and turning until all the branches have been folded.
  • Repeat on the other side.
  • Open out your origami tree's lower part and stand.
  • Take all green flowers and put 18*18cm at the bottom and 8*8cm at the top. Now Put this bulk on the brown paper and a beautiful tree is prepared.

 Conclusion:

The best thing about these trees Is that you can fold them back and tuck them away when Christmas is over. In fact, store them flat (inside an old book) and bring them back out in the coming year.
