How To Make Christmas Trees With Paper
I love Christmas Trees of all shapes and sizes. I really have no idea how many trees I have around the house during the holidays, so adding a few more isn’t a problem.This is a tutorial on How to Make DIY Paper Christmas Trees that can be used alone, on a garland or as a tree ornament. A cheap DIY Christmas tree made with regular copy paper.
As I folded my trees, I was reminded of the folded Fortune Telling game we made as kids. Do you remember those? I think they are also called Origami or Chatterbox.
The thing I remember most, is how excited I was when I finally leaned to fold them correctly. You may feel the same about these trees.
That is why I have included a video tutorial as well as the written blog. You may find it useful to refer to both.
DIY Christmas Tree with Paper
The. only supplies you need are 20-24 lb. copy paper and baker’s twine or jute twine.
I used white paper, however this green copy paper or red would look great as well.
Diy Paper Christmas Trees
Begin by folding your 8 1/2 x 11 paper into a 8 1/2 inch square.
Cut off the excess paper.
You will now have 4 peaks which you want to allow to come forward as shown above.
Fold the peak creating a pocket and press with your fingers for a good crease. Refer to the image above.
Make sure you press the folded crease well.
Finally, fluff your tree.
These trees stand alone or you can use them to create a garland or add them to your tree as an ornament.
Hang your garland and enjoy.
The garland can be used on your tree, in a window or door. Anywhere you want to add some holiday charm. See detail instructions here.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
Watching video tutorial will help clarify some of the instructions.
