This cute pine trees are simple but adorable. I love making them in variety of colors. My plan is to put these under my Christmas tree which I plan to install in a few days.
Supplies:
- 8x8 inch pieces of colored art paper (assorted)
- scissors
- glue
Steps:
- Fold the paper diagonally. It will form a triangle. Fold one corner of the base toward the center top point. Do the same in the opposite side.
- Release the fold and make a straight (horizontal) fold. Then fold the corners in to the center. See fold lines
- When you open it will have 8 divisions. See 2nd image to see a clear illustration of the fold marks.
- Pull up the four corners to the center. See photo.
- It will create a small diamond with four pleats.
- Take one pleat and press the fold mark down. It should be centered.
- Do the same with the others and the figure will then form a slim diamond shape. The pleats will be smaller.
- Remove the bottom part. It should look like a pleated inverted cone.
- Now, make a few small straight cuts on the figure (1/2 to 1 inch). Make sure all the pleats are cut.
- Pull the pleats apart or separate them. Fold the cuts diagonally one by one. Refer to attached photo.
- Equally distribute the pleats or arrange them to make the pine tree stand.
- Glue a tiny star on top. And make more in different colors.
