How to Make 3d Christmas Tree Out of PaperStep 1: Base CreasesPrepare a piece of square paper. You can use plain colored craft paper or you can use printed paper, as you wish. Take the square paper and fold the paper in half diagonally, from both sides. Now, flip the paper to the other side and fold it in half horizontally and vertically. Step 2: Base FoldNow, hold the creased paper and push the diagonal creases inwards and draw the vertical and horizontal creases outwards. Flatten the current paper and you’ll have a square pattern. Step 3: Fold a Closed Side InwardsThe current square pattern should have 2 closed sides and 2 open sides. Fold the closed side inside and align it with the middle line of the current square (the line that divides the square in half diagonally. Step 4: Unfold the Last FoldUnfold the fold that we just created in the previous step. This will leave creases on that particular part of the current paper pattern. Step 5: Flatten the Side LayerFlatten that part by bringing the side crease along the middle and the 2 new creases on both sides of it. Step 6: Fold the Side InsideKeeping the side crease (currently placed along the middle of the 2 new creases) as it is, fold the inner crease outside. Step 7: Repeat Previous StepsSimilarly, create creases and fold the opposite part of the current side. Then, flip the pattern and do the same for that side as well. Step 8: Cut off Extra Open EndsUse a pair of scissors to cut off the extra open sides of the current origami paper pattern. Notice that the current paper pattern will have a total of 8 layers, 4 layers on each side (left and right). Step 9: Use Scissors to Cut 3 Slits Along the SidesKeeping the layers as they are, 4 layers on each side; use scissors to cut 3 slits with an even distance between them on each side of the paper pattern. Step 10: Fold the Slitted PartsHold the 2nd part (from the top) of a layer. Fold the top side of the part to 45 degrees inwards. One by one fold the 2 other parts of the same layer. Step 11: Flip and Fold the Next Layer PartsNow, flip the layer and work similarly with the next layer. Step 12: Flip and Fold PartsOne by one, flip and fold all parts of all layers (a total of 8 layers with 3 parts on each). Step 13: Place 3d paper Christmas Tree on Standing PositionYour paper christmas tree is ready. Now them on Standing Position.
