Creating a Christmas Tree Using Paper Folding |
|||
| Instructions: | ||||
 |
Start with a square of double sided Designer Paper. This sample is made with the Holiday Thyme paper from the 2006 Holiday Mini Catalog. This square measures 3 inches. | |||
 |
Fold the square in half. Open it up and then fold it in half the other way. Your paper should now be divided into quarters. |
|||
 |
Now take and fold the paper in half along the diagonal. Open it up and then fold it along the other diagonal. Now the square should be divided into 8 equal sections. |
|||
 |
Fold the square in half again to form a rectangle. You will see a triangle made up of the folds you have created. Use these lines to fold the edges of the rectangle inside. | |||
 |
Once you have folded both sides of the rectangle inward, your paper should now look like this. | |||
 |
Take the front half and fold it in towards the center. Make sure that the point at the top is nice and crisp. You may need to use a bone folder. | |||
 |
Repeat with the left side and fold it towards the center also. This is the finished piece and will be one quarter of the tree. | |||
| Here is the finished card. This tree was made using 3", 2 1/2", 2" and 1 1/2 " squares. The trunk is also made from the Holiday Thyme designer paper. The tree is built from the top. Each section is slid up under the previous one. | ||||
|
|
||||
| I thought that this was almost too pretty to send someone, but would make a great focal point for a scrapbook page. The little trees were made the same way only the squares measured 3/4", 1". 1 1/4" and 1 1/2". | ||||
