Learn how to fold a simple origami Christmas tree with a star to decorate the top. This origami Christmas tree is possibly the easiest to make, ever.
You can make the tree one color or layer different colors for a fun wrapped effect.
This one will stand up if you wrap it with more layers. As the final layer serves as a stand.
Both the tree (plain version) and the star are traditional Japanese models. Yes, they require a dab of glue. Traditional origami models often use glue here and there, contrary to what most people think!
Design: Traditional
Level: ★★☆☆☆
You will need:
- Tree: 1 sheet of square paper, 15 x 15 cm
(more if you want to layer it) - Star: 2 sheets of square paper that are half the size of the paper used for the tree (7.5 x 7.5 cm)
The small trees in the video are made with 7.5 x 7.5 cm and the star is made from 3.75 x 3.75 cm
I really like this simple origami tree. Even though it does stand up, I feel like it’s better for sticking flat onto greetings cards.
