Fold the right side towards the middle.

Then, repeat with the left one.

Fold the upper corners of the same sides, aligning along the part edges.

Turn it over.

Connect the bottom corner with the upper one.

Then, direct the same corner downward, making a small fold beforehand.

Within the fold borders bend down two small corners on its edges.

Now, fold the right side of the detail bottom part so that the corner can become smooth and form a triangle.

Then, fold the left side.

Fold the bottom part tip.

And bend the fold toward the center.

Turn the paper over again. Make folds in the upper part to form the crown. The left fold.

3 Version of Origami Tree

The crown is extremely simple, the trunk is a bit more complicated. To make the craft, you will need two square pieces of green and one of brown paper.

Let’s start with the trunk.

Origami tree trunk

Fold the square in half.

Unfold it and connect the side corners in the center.

In the same way, align the upper sides with the corners in the middle.

Fold the right side bottom to the middle again.

Then, the left one.

And again, fold the upper sides. Paper is getting narrower and thicker, it is harder and harder to work with it. But if the initial sizes aren’t too small, you will have no special problems in doing it.

Fold the sharp upper corner aside.

Direct the bottom corner upwards, folding the part almost in half.

You will get this kind of origami trunk. It can be combined with any crown shape.

Tree crown options

Here, everything is simple. You should form any shape you like of a paper square.

To do this, fold the paper corners. If you make a tiny fold at the top and larger ones on the sides, you will get a slightly rectangular crown. Turn it over and stick the trunk onto it.

Fold the corners symmetrically on all the sides – you will get a square tree crown.

Slightly fold the sides and the bottom corner – the tree will look like a fir.
