This Christmas tree variation is based on the Spiky Christmas tree. It looks the same as this tree but the variation is that this one does not require any glue to hold it together. The spiky tree, the other hand, does require glue to ensure that it maintains the tree shape. The no-glue part is achived by using an open sink at the top of each the branches, except the top most one. The sink [Continued..]
Week 04 (Day 04): Fir Tree
This model is a fir tree rather than a Christmas tree, but I think it resembles a Christmas tree quite well. The model is designed by Pietro Macchi and is of intermediate difficulty.

I found it useful using the same size or the same proportions. [Continued..]
Continuing on my Origami Christmas Trees, here is another tree that resembles the Christmas tree.

The instructions upto Step 12 is the same as the last Christmas tree, but after that it gets more complicated [Continued..]
Here is another of the Christmas trees, this one slightly more difficult than the last one. I am not really sure of the creator this model but I had found the tutorial on youtube. This model does require glue to hold the layer together. There is a slight variation to this as well, one that does not require glue, which I will post soon. Thick paper, works well for this model. Printer paper works fine [Continued..]
With Christmas hardly a week away, don’t you think it is time I made some Christmas trees?? Well, I thought so too So here is a week of Christmas trees for you to try out. All the trees are simple or intermediate ones and are real fun to make. The first Christmas tree is one of the very famous origami Christmas trees and was created by Makoto Yamaguchi. The base is made slightly different from [Continued..]
