1. Crease a diagonal
White side up. Fold the top-left corner onto the bottom-right corner, then unfold.
2. Turn it to a diamond
Turn the paper 45° so the crease runs straight up and down, like a diamond.
3. Fold a kite
Fold the upper left and upper right edges to the centre crease, starting from the top corner. It looks like a kite.
4. Fold the bottom corner up
Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner, folding the kite in half. You get a green pentagon.
5. Fold the upper edges in
Fold the upper left and upper right edges to the centre line again. Each fold runs from the top corner to a bottom corner.
6. Fold the top layers down
Fold the top corner down, taking only the white flaps and the layers right under them. Line up the point on the outer edge where white meets green with the slanted edge of the green triangle below. Leave the green kite at the very bottom in place: it becomes the top of the tree.
7. Fold up the pot
Fold the white point hanging below up, so its tip touches the bottom edge of the green tree. This is the pot.
8. Turn over
Turn it over: your fir tree is done, standing in its white pot!
1. Crease a diagonal
White side up. Fold the top-left corner onto the bottom-right corner, then unfold.
Tip:
Finished!
Well done! Watch it again or try another model.
Decorate it
- Fold it from paper that is green on one side and red on the other: the pot takes the colour of the back.
- Glue a small folded star to the top, or stick on little paper dots as ornaments.
