Hello Stampers! Well, I had a couple of you ask for directions on how to make the Origami Christmas tree that was on my card that I posted on Friday. So, here it is! It is really easy and quick to make!
1 - Start out with four squares of designer series paper sizes 3" X 3", 2 1/2" X 2 1/2", 2" X 2", 1 1/2" X 1 1/2". I used Merry Moments designer series paper.
2 - Take each square and fold it in half diagonally. Unfold it and fold it in half the opposite way. Use your bone folder to make your folds very crisp.
3 - Unfold again and now fold into a rectangle in one direction only.
4 - Keep it in the rectangle fold and turn it so that the fold is facing away from you. Fold in the horizontal middle folds to meet in the middle. Your previous folds should make this fairly easy to do. Use your bone folder again to make crisp folds. It will look like a triangle from above and will have two layers.
5 - Bring the top left angle down to meet the center. Use bone folder to crease.
6 - Bring the top right angle down to meet in the center also. Use bone folder to crease.
7 - Once all four pieces are completed, your pieces will nest together to make your tree.
Adhere your tree to your card and decorate as desired. I think they look very elegant!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Happy Stampin' and TTFN!
