HOW TO: ORIGAMI CHRISTMAS TREE
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Scissors (cut along the dotted line) Optional: Stickers for decoration
STEP 1 Take your square piece of paper and fold once diagonally and again on the other side. Make sure that you fold each side well.
STEP 2 This is the point to create a square base to create the Christmas tree. Take each corner of the paper and bring the corners together.
STEP 3 When bringing the corners together, you will see two points form. Simply fold them to make the square base.
STEP 4 Turn the square base into a diamond shape and fold the right corner of the outer flap to the centre of the square base. Crease it and then unfold.
STEP 5 Once unfolded, separate this with your fingers and squash the fold to create a triangle.
STEP 6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 all around the square base until you have creases all over.
STEP 7 You should be left with a triangular base. You can fold it outwards to create a flap or just cut it. This is up to your personal preference.
FINAL STEP Flare it open and ta-da! You have your origami Christmas tree - you can decorate this with stickers or add mini origami stars to the top with some glue.
