Assembling a forest beauty from triangular origami modules is not at all difficult. It consists of individual branches, so you can make Christmas trees of the most various forms and sizes. In addition, from such branches you can make New Year's compositions, making toys, snowflakes, stars.
- For the Christmas tree, you can take modules of one or two colors. Modules made of rectangles measuring 38x60 mm were used here. But there may be other sizes. For this Christmas tree, 637 modules were needed (391 dark green, 246 light green). Fold the triangular modules according to the diagram.
- Start collecting a twig. Take two modules (long side on top), insert two near corners into two pockets of the third module.
- This is what the first two rows of a branch look like. The first row has 2 modules, the second row has 1 module. If the branch is short, then you can start assembling it from one module; if it is long, then it is better from two, so it will be easier to connect them later.
- Make a third row by placing two more modules on the corners of the second row module. You need to insert the corners into those pockets that are located closer to each other. Then the outer corners will stick out freely to the sides, like needles.
- Continue collecting the twig, alternating one or two modules in each row.
- Make 12 rows of dark green modules, and the last two from light ones. When you collect a branch, you don’t need to put the modules on too tightly or deeply. They will hold better if they are not put on all the way, but the entire branch must be squeezed from the side periodically, especially at the joints. When the branch is assembled, it needs to be slightly bent, like a real tree.
- Make side shoots. Collect a branch of five rows.
- Step back three “needles” from the beginning of the branch and place two side branches on the fourth.
- Make 5 of these branches for the bottom row. Each branch consists of 35 modules. To connect them, take another module and insert it into the nearest pockets.
- Connect all 5 branches in order and close them into a ring. If you use other colors and take 6 branches, you will get a snowflake.
- Make an intermediate ring that will separate the rows of large branches. To do this, take 7 modules for the first row and 7 for the second. Connect them this way.
- Lock it in a ring. Make 4 of these rings.
- For the next row, make a smaller branch. 12 rows - central branch, side branches - 3 rows each.
- Connect 5 branches in a circle in the same way. Make the next circle smaller again. Each branch has 10 rows, the side branches have three. It turned out to be three circles of branched branches.
- Now make two small circles of twigs without side branches. The number of rows is 8 and 6. Connect in the same way.
- This is the top of the Christmas tree. Gathered as a branch of eight rows. Two modules are inserted on the sides for pomp.
- This is what all the blanks look like. Doesn't it look like snowflakes?
- Take a wooden skewer and stick it into the eraser.
- 1 row. Put on a big circle.
- 2nd row. Put on the intermediate ring.
- 3rd row. Put on the next circle.
- 4 - 5 rows. Put on the ring and the next circle.
- 6 - 7 rows. Put on the ring and the next largest circle.
- 8 - 9 rows. Put on a ring and a small circle.
- Put on the top of your head. The Christmas tree is ready. If you do not plan to disassemble it, you can use glue when assembling it.
It is difficult to imagine that once in Rus' a green fluffy Christmas tree was just a tree. After the decree of Peter the Great, everyone, young and old, associates her with the most happy holiday Happy New Year. If we make stars and snowflakes out of paper, then making a Christmas tree using the origami technique for the holiday is a must.
Christmas tree on Christmas tree
This little green Christmas tree can be made by your child to his and your great pleasure. And then tie a thread to the top of the head and hang it on the New Year's green real beauty.
- Take a square sheet of green paper and mark all the axes and diagonals on it, folding and unfolding the workpiece.
- Fold it as shown in the photo.
- Mark a fold line by bending and straightening each of the four wings.
- Make pockets out of them, aligning the center with the center.
- Fold the corners right side first.
- And then tuck them inside. We have already created a small smooth Christmas tree with 8 edges.
- Let's make her spruce paws. To do this, cut each of the 8 edges by 0.5-1 cm in 2-4 places. To make the Christmas tree symmetrical, you can cut it by folding two or three edges together.
- The most difficult operation. Bend the cuts as shown in the photo, marking the lines for the next operation.
- Tuck in the segments that you just folded back.
- Make a leg out of a smaller square of brown paper. The assembly diagram is the same. Then sew the top of the head with thread. Christmas tree decoration ready.
Each modular origami, including the Christmas tree, begins with the production of many identical small modules from paper. Following the scheme, you need to collect 5 snowflakes of different sizes.
The smallest consists of 16 modules and has 8 beams (position 2). The second five-pointed star starts with 10 modules in a circle (position 3). The third snowflake consists of six rays (position 4) and starts with 12 modules. The fourth snowflake (positions 5-8) has 14 modules and 7 rays. And the largest modular snowflake has 8 rays (position 9-12) and additional inserts (position 10).
When all tiers are made, the moment of assembly begins. Place all the green snowflakes on one axle and secure the star to the top of your head.
A modest origami Christmas tree is made from a one-sided sheet of colored paper. Since this Christmas tree does not shine with anything special, give it grace and shine with beautiful material.
- Take a square sheet of the most elegant paper and fold it diagonally, outlining the lines.
- Select the main corner of the square, which will later become the top of the holiday tree, and mark two more lines from it, folding the corners adjacent to it towards the middle.
- We fold the accordion, bending the workpiece twice. The first step starts from the horizontal axis that you outlined in the first point.
- Turn the workpiece over.
- We outline the fold lines. The first two folds are made uphill.
- The second two folds are on the contrary inward “valley”.
- Now move the sides of the workpiece so that the paper itself wants to fold. Fold the sagging corners up.
- Fold in the lowest corner, aligning the tree horizontally.
- Turn the Christmas tree over to face you.
- Give it volume by slightly bending it along the vertical axis.
- This Christmas tree can be placed on festive table, stick it on a card or just give it to your mom.
Fluffy beauty (video)
The green Christmas tree is the main guest at the New Year holiday. We could not ignore this issue and today we have an origami Christmas tree. This needlework technique is quite popular today. Modular origami forest beauty can become a wonderful gift or simply decorate the interior of your home.
Tools and materials Time: 3 hours Difficulty: 3/10
- green A4 sheets – 23 pieces;
- A4 sheets of light green color – 16 pieces;
- stationery knife;
- PVA glue;
- wooden skewers - 3 pieces;
- polystyrene foam - a small piece;
- scotch;
- corrugated paper.
This origami Christmas tree looks very elegant and festive.
Step-by-step master class
Christmas tree origami is made from triangular modules, which must be made in advance in the required quantity: green - 354 pieces, light green - 254 pieces.
In our work we will use sheets of green and light green colors in A4 format.
Step 1: divide the sheets
Before starting, divide a sheet of paper into 16 rectangles.
Step 2: cut into squares
We cut with a stationery knife, trying to keep the edges even.
Step 3: make modules
We make a module according to a certain scheme. Fold the rectangle in half horizontally.
We fold the resulting double strip vertically again. And we unfold, thus marking a line in the middle.
We lower the upper corners along the center line.
We turn the resulting part over.
Raise the lower part of the workpiece to the triangle.
We return the lower part of the workpiece and bend the lower corners.
Using the folded corners, we bend the lower part again and fold the part in half. The module is ready.
We produce the required number of green and light green modules.
Step 4: collecting branches
The modules are ready, let's start assembling the first branch. Let's take two parts and insert them into two pockets of the third module. While working, apply a small drop of glue to the modules so that the product does not fall apart later.
In the third row we add two modules: we insert the free ends of the part of the second row into the side pockets of the other two modules.
In the fourth row we add one module using its two pockets.
Fifth row + two modules. And so we alternate one or two modules, creating a branch of 12 rows. The last two rows use light green colored blanks. When assembling a branch, you do not need to push the module tightly onto the module. But it is better to squeeze the joints more tightly. Before the glue has completely grabbed the paper, the twig needs to be slightly bent.
Step 5: make shoots
Now you need to make the lateral shoots. We make a branch of 5 rows, alternating one or two modules. The last two rows are light green.
This is what the lateral process looks like when finished.
You need to make 2 of these shoots.
We retreat three needles from the beginning of the central branch and insert the lateral shoots onto the fourth one, be sure to use glue. This is what the finished branch looks like.
You need to make 5 such branches.
Step 6: fasten the branches
Now they need to be fastened into one ring. To do this, take the connecting module and insert it into the free outer pockets of the two branches. We fasten with glue. We connect the remaining branches in a similar way.
This is what the first ring looks like.
The second ring will be slightly smaller. The central branch will consist of 12 rows, as in the first circle, and the side branches will consist of only 3 (4 light green modules).
We fasten the lateral processes, as in the first ring. We make 5 such branches. We connect all the prepared branch blanks into one circle using the method described above.
We make the third circle. The central branch consists of 10 rows. Lateral processes follow the example of the second circle. In total you need to make 5 branches of this type.
We connect the branches using a connecting module. We get the third ring.
Let's start making the fourth ring. The branches of this row will be much smaller, only 8 rows and without lateral shoots. The last two rows are made of light green modules.
Also makes 5 branches. We fasten them with connecting modules.
The fifth ring will be even smaller. The central branch consists of only 6 rows; there is no need to make lateral branches.
We make five twig blanks and connect them into one ring.
You need to make 4 such intermediate rings.
Step 7: Making the Top
Now we will make the top from green and light green modules. Alternating one or two modules, make a branch of 10 rows (the first one is green).
For splendor, glue two more green modules on the sides.
Step 8: Assembling the Christmas tree
All details are ready. We make a stand and a trunk and you can start assembling the Christmas tree.
Now we take three wooden skewers and fasten them with tape or adhesive tape.
We wrap the skewers with a green strip of corrugated paper.
We insert the finished “trunk” into a rectangular piece of foam.
We put on the largest ring first.
We continue to wear circle after circle, not forgetting about the intermediate rings.
The final touch is the top. The origami Christmas tree is ready!
Such an origami New Year tree will undoubtedly decorate the New Year holiday and cheer up all family and guests. You can also watch the video to see how to do it.
Origami Christmas tree will be needed in new year holidays as an element of holiday tree decoration. The complexity of implementation depends on the method: regular or from modules. The lesson describes in detail how to make a Christmas tree in classical technique, as well as the option of making it using scissors.
This tutorial will appeal to beginners or those who don't have enough time for the modular version. Materials you will need colored paper and scissors:

This method is more difficult than the first. To get started you will need colored paper. A white Christmas tree will be spectacular if you make additional decorations for it, paint it with paints or add crafts from beads.
In addition to the main material, you will need: a skewer (made of wood or plastic; a metal one will make the paper Christmas tree unstable) and a beautiful piece of foam. Instead, use a large eraser or other material that will hold the vertical base.
The modular origami technique involves preliminary preparation of paper templates in the required quantity.
Rules for folding modules
See the work process in the photo with a description:
- Divide one of the large sheets of paper into 16 squares, you need to clearly mark the initial fold lines, as in steps 1 - 3, and form a double rectangle;
- Point 4 in the photo demonstrates how to form a right angle. To do this, connect two opposite corners along short diagonals.
- According to point 5, clarify the lower fold lines.
- According to diagrams 6-8, bend the parts of the workpiece.
- At the final stage of creating each module, fold it in half, connecting the sharp corners together.
Be sure to carefully work out all the folds of the parts. This will make the structure whole and protect it from falling apart.
Having prepared the required number of modules (about 500 pieces) for a large tree. For a small Christmas tree, a smaller number of blanks is also suitable.
Construction of branches and modular rings
The basis of this process is the alternation of one and two elements in a row. They are fastened together by placing the corners of the next two in the pockets of the first template (as in diagram 1, 2, 3).
And vice versa, the corners of the next one fit into the pockets of the two previous modules. Once the branch has reached the desired length, add additional side shoots to create a beautiful fluffy result.
Following the step-by-step diagram of assembling tree branches and rings, everyone will be interested in showing their imagination.
