Here’s what you’re going to need:

Thin Decorative Paper 

Pencil 

Ruler 

Scissor 

origami paper \ scrapbook paper \ Gift Wrap \ Wrapping Paper  \ Magazines \ Maps 

middle-size trees 10×10-inch 

 

Instructions: 

  1. Start by laying your square sheet of paper down with the white side facing up.

  2. Fold it in half edge to edge. Open your piece of paper back out and fold it in half again this time in the other direction. 
  3. Open back out and fold in half again this time across both the diagonals.

  4. Open out and lay flat with the white side facing up. Using the creases you have previously made bring the top 3 corners down to meet at the bottom corner. Press flat. You should now have a diamond shape.

  5. Fold the sides in to meet at the center crease. 
  6. Flip over and repeat on the other side. You should now have an upside-down kite shape.
  7. Open one of the flaps back out and flatten. Take the outer edge and collapse it by folding it into the center.
  8. Repeat for the other side.
  9. Flip it over and repeat steps 8 and 9.

  10. Now take a pair of scissors and cut the bottom point off your kite. To make it easier fold the top layer back to make a triangle and use this as a guide. 
  11. Using a pair of scissors cut 3 horizontal lines on each side of the triangle. These will make your branches.

  12. Starting from the right fold each cut line down to make a small triangle. Fold to the left like a page and repeat by folding down each cut line on the right.
