Stages of making a Christmas tree using origami technique
1. Our New Year's craft will have four parts in the form of modules, which are then connected to each other to obtain one three-dimensional figure. So we cut out a square of 12 x 12 cm from brown paper, and three different sizes from green paper: 16 x 16 cm, 12 x 12 cm and 8 x 8 cm.
2. Now we use only green sheets. They will all add up the same way. Therefore, you can create modules simultaneously or one by one. So we fold it diagonally twice.
3. Then we open it and fold it into a book.
4. Repeat the fold only on the other side of the blanks.
5. Reveal. We fold the workpiece on both sides along the fold lines and get these figures in the form of a “double square”.
6. Bend the bottom corner up to the top of the workpiece. We do this on every module. Turn it over and do exactly the same on this side.
7. We turn the fold from the left side to the right side and again bend the lower corner of the Christmas tree blank to the top.
8. Turn the fold again. Only this time on the left side. Bend the bottom edge of the module up.
9. The result is triangles like these.
10. We bring a vertical fold to the lower left side of the workpiece.
11. We also make a fold at the bottom by running our fingers along the fold. Get a small triangle. It is deposited in one direction and in the other in exactly the same way. We bend it upward on the left side to get a solid base for the module at the bottom.
12. Then move on to the next side. We do exactly the same.
13. We do this with the other two parts and then hide the small corners inside crafts.
14. The finished modules for the Christmas tree will look exactly like pyramids of different sizes.
15. Connect all the green parts of the craft to each other.
16. Then we create the base for the Christmas tree from a brown square sheet of paper. We first fold it in exactly the same way as the first elements. We get a “double square”.
17. Bend the right edge of the paper to the vertical line of the module.
18. Raise the lower triangle to the fold line.
19. Make a fold and lay the triangle down. Bend the side to the left side.
20. We bend the next right triangle again to the vertical line. Bend the bottom corner up. Having made a fold, bend it down and turn the workpiece over.
21. On the other hand, we create exactly the same actions with paper as in stage No. 17-20. We get such an elongated module.
22. We attach it to other parts of the craft to get the base.
23. Now the modular Christmas tree using the origami technique is ready.
