New Year not far off, which means it's time to go with children do a simple Christmas tree in engineering origami and decorate it beautiful balls. Joint creativity always creates a sense of celebration and cheers up. Therefore, put aside all business and arrange an exciting pastime for your son or daughter.

I suggest making two simple Christmas trees from green paper. In addition to square leaves, you will also need glue. The craft is easy to assemble, so it is ideal for children. There are two options for you to choose from: a three-dimensional Christmas tree and a flat one for postcards.

How to make a simple origami Christmas tree

For crafts, prepare five squares with a side of 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 cm. You can use a different size, but it is important that each subsequent sheet is smaller than the previous one.

Take the largest blank and outline the diagonal folds by bending it in half in different directions so that the opposite corners converge. Then fold the sheet vertically and horizontally.

Expand the square and form along the marked lines. To do this, remove the side sectors of the square inside, bending along a horizontal line. The figure is ready. Place it on the table so that the four ends look in different directions.

Do the same with the rest of the leaves. It is important to iron the folds well. Then you can make parts for the Christmas tree easily and quickly.

When five identical blanks of different sizes lie in front of you, start assembling. Prepare the glue. Lubricate the top of the largest part with it and glue the base of the one that is slightly smaller to it, inserting the end a little inside.

Next, take the next piece of the Christmas tree, which is made of a square with a side of 6 cm and repeat the steps. The smallest detail will be on top. Volumetric Christmas tree is ready! Decorate her by own will. It’s good if the child shows imagination and cuts and sticks Christmas decorations himself.

Flat Christmas tree for applications and postcards

A New Year's card with a Christmas tree with a child is as easy as shelling pears. Now in stock you will always have an idea on the topic of origami. Prepare 4 green squares with a side of 10, 8, 6, 4 cm and glue.

Collect from each double triangle, as we did above or described. Then bend alternately the outer side ends to the center vertical line. To make them fit snugly, grease the area near the center with glue.

Connect the four parts obtained during the assembly process together into a beautiful Christmas tree. Insert the end of each inside the top piece and secure with glue.

If you wish, decorate the Christmas tree with a five-pointed star. how to assemble it using the origami technique. In addition, a postcard or application can be supplemented. Of course, come up with a festive outfit for the forest beauty.

I wish you all a Happy New Year and magical holidays! Subscribe to new articles, and you will learn many more interesting things from the world of origami!

The next competitive master class will introduce you to another option main character the upcoming holiday - a Christmas tree made of paper modules, i.e. in engineering modular origami. The relative ease of manufacturing the model and the availability of the technology itself will allow even children to create lovely symbols of the holiday. The main thing is to understand the intricacies of paper modules. And the author of the work will help you to do this Anna Susmetova.

Christmas tree in the technique of modular origami

Hello! My name is Susmetova Anna Vyacheslavovna. I work as the Head of the circle of technical creativity in the House of Culture of the village. Youth of the Simferopol region, Republic of Crimea.

With my students, we study various creative techniques: technique sand animation, trimming technique, paper twisting technique (quilling), as well as the technique of folding figures from triangular simple modules(modular origami).

Today I want to present you one of my favorite works made in the technique of modular origami - "Christmas Tree". This craft can be a great decoration for your New Year's interior or a gift for a loved one.

For its manufacture we need the following materials:

- green and red paper;

- PVA glue;

- beads for decoration.

The Christmas tree consists of six parts, assembled from triangular modules Green colour, — 450 modules in total. Another 50 red modules will be required to make a star.

Divide A4 sheet into 25 rectangles and cut. We make triangular modules from ready-made rectangles. After all the modules are assembled, we proceed to assemble the "Christmas Tree" figure according to the following scheme.

1. The first part of the Christmas tree. The first 2 rows consist of 8 modules each.

2. The second part: 1st row - 10, 2nd row - 10, 3rd row - 10, 4th row - 5 modules.

3. The third part: 1st row - 12, 2nd row - 12, 3rd row - 12, 4th row - 12, 5th row - 6 modules.

4. Fourth part: 1st row - 14, 2nd row - 14, 3rd row - 14, 4th row - 7 modules.

Now we collect 5 more modules as follows: 4th row - 2, 5th row - 2, 6th row - 1 module.

We attach a part of 5 modules to the fourth part between the formed rays.

We make and add 6 more such details. The fourth part of the Christmas tree is ready.

5. Fifth part: 1st row - 16, 2nd row - 16, 3rd row - 16, 4th row - 16, 5th row - 8 modules.

We collect 7 more modules in this way: 5th row - 2, 6th row - 2, 7th row - 2, 8th row - 1 module.

We connect the resulting part with the fifth part between the formed rays.

We add 7 more of the same details. So the fifth part of the Christmas tree is ready.

Sixth part: 1st row - 18, 2nd row - 18, 3rd row - 18, 4th row - 18, 5th row - 18, 6th row - 9 modules.

We collect 9 more parts from 9 modules in this way: 6th row - 2, 7th row - 2, 8th row - 2, 9th row - 1 modules.

We attach the details between the beams of the workpiece. The sixth part of the Christmas tree is ready.

7. The top of the paper Christmas tree is decorated with a red star.

The star consists of 50 red triangular modules. We collect it according to the scheme: 1st row - 10, 2nd row - 10 modules (put on with the long side out (dsn)).

3rd row - 10 modules (put on with the short side out (ksn)).

4th row - 10 modules (ksn). There is a division into five beams - the modules are put on with one pocket, and the second outer one remains empty.

5th row - 5 modules (ksn). The module is put on two inner pockets of each beam.

8. When all the parts are ready, we proceed to the assembly of the Christmas tree.

8. We decorate the product with mother-of-pearl beads.

Our "Christmas Tree" is ready!

Good afternoon, dear blog readers!

The month of December begins - we are entering the finish line of the year. Personally, I associate December with the end of the old year and the approach of the New. And although it is still too early to decorate the Christmas tree, I want to bring this event closer by raising the mood with the attributes and decorations of the upcoming main holiday of the year. Which one then main attribute New Year's holiday? That's right, tree.

The other day my youngest son came home from school with a paper toy. He enthusiastically told how he did it and got an A for his work. Looking at his burning eyes, memories of my childhood surfaced when we created various crafts with our own hands using the origami technique. Taking into account all these events, my hands itched, I wanted to create something, and the question arose - how to make a Christmas tree out of paper. Armed with patience, leafing through the pages of the World Wide Web, such a craft came out of my hands.

She really liked my kids. I suggest you, dear readers, to immerse yourself in the process of making a small miracle and make it with your children. Yes, you can just stretch your hands with friends and colleagues, decorating your home or workplace before the upcoming holiday. And will help you with this step by step wizard class on making paper Christmas trees.

Here's what we need for this:

1. Good mood
2. Desire to create beauty
3. Well, the paper itself, of course.

The first two points are mandatory, without them, nowhere.

Here we go?

We take an A4 sheet, in our case I used a simple office "Snow Maiden", you can take a color one, it turns out even prettier from it.

We need to make a square sheet.

The next step is to fold the paper in half.

We fold the paper along the bends to make a triangle.

Now we take the corners of our figure and fold the paper so that the side line of the triangle is along the center line. Let's fold our resulting triangle so that the lower corner is in the center of the large triangle.

Our Christmas tree is octagonal, we make cuts. In our case, three cuts were made. We bend the corners on all faces in one direction.

The resulting craft can be used as a Christmas tree toy, or decorate the table giving a New Year's atmosphere to the working environment. Such voluminous herringbone you can please your colleagues or friends. My second-grader son gave these crafts to his classmates, and they squealed with delight.

For more visualization, I suggest watching the video

Until we meet again! Bye, bye.

Let's create a small Christmas tree out of paper on the eve of the New Year, using the popular origami modeling technique for this. To work, you only need a sheet of green paper, and then it's up to the dexterity of your hands, this is what makes origami unique. We hope similar occupation will captivate your whole family.

1. Prepare green paper, it is not necessary to use a sheet that is also green on the back, the most common one will do. colored paper which has a white back.

3. You can immediately make the opposite fold to indicate the diagonals of the future square.

4. Turning the square with the green side towards you, make the diagonal folds more expressive.

5. Bend the square again, but through the middle of the opposite sides.

6. Do the same, but turn the paper inside out.

7. Putting the white side in again, begin to bend both sides symmetrically as shown in the photo.

8. Smooth the product, it will take the form of a modular triangle.

9. The resulting triangle is double. Start bending the corners of one plane from the top to the center, focusing on the middle line, then bend the adjacent corner of the triangle symmetrically.

10. Turn the workpiece upside down and make similar folds on the second triangle.

11. Turn the product sideways, gently spread the side part with your fingers and straighten it to get a figure resembling a shamrock in shape.

12. Bend the central petal to the left and carefully smooth the fold.

13. Do the same procedure with neighboring petals.

21. Divide both sides into the same number of layers. You should get four branches on each side.

23. Fold the bottom loose corner of the paper up.

24. Then hide this extra corner inside the product.

25. Do the same procedure with all corners.

26. You should get a triangular Christmas tree blank, consisting of several layers.

27. Make side cuts with scissors, not reaching the center line.

28. Begin to form the crown of the Christmas tree, bending each element, focusing on the cuts.

29. Continue to bend the sharp corners of the crown.

30. Fluff the finished Christmas tree.

The final look of the craft.

Christmas tree craft is ready. We wish you a festive mood and a merry New Year.

Origami- the art of assembling various crafts from paper. This type of creativity was invented in Japan. However, over time, other countries began to make their own adjustments to this type of creativity. For example, the Chinese came up with modular origami. Its essence lies in the fact that all crafts are assembled from the same triangular modules. Thanks to this, you can get a very large voluminous craft.

To make a simple Christmas tree out of paper, you will need 1 sheet of paper. You can take a sheet of green paper or a sheet of white paper, and then color it.

Steps for this craft:

1. Cut off the excess part of sheet A, you should get a square.
2. Bend the resulting square diagonally.
3. Connect the two sides of this square with a diagonal fold line.
4. Make one accordion fold in the middle of your tree.
5. Turn over the resulting workpiece.
6. Bend the bottom end of your tree so that it faces you.
7. Make another accordion fold. It should fit between the two horizontal folds you already have.
8. Make small cuts at the bottom to make the trunk of your Christmas tree.
9. Flip your Christmas tree and decorate it.

This is the most simple version of the Christmas tree. It can be done by every student in 2 minutes. If you want to do more a beautiful craft read the following sections.

Making a Christmas tree out of cardboard

From cardboard You can make a Christmas tree of absolutely any size. To do this, you need cardboard, tape, glue, scissors and paints. The sequence of actions when making a Christmas tree from cardboard:

1. Cut out 4 trapeziums. The upper base of this trapezoid should be half the size of the lower one.
2. Cut out 2 squares from cardboard. The first is for connecting the lower bases of the trapezoid, and the second is for the upper bases.
3. Tape the bottom bases of all the trapeziums to the sides of the large square first.
4. Tape all the sides of the trapezoids to each other with tape.
5. Gently glue a small square to the top of the resulting product.
6. You will get a voluminous trapezoid.
7. To get a Christmas tree, you need to make a few more of these trapeziums. The topmost detail is a pyramid. This pyramid will have a square base.
8. After you make all the trapezoids and the pyramid, you need to glue them together.
9. To do this, glue the upper base of the largest trapezoid with glue. Put the next trapezoid on it with the lower base.
10. Glue all the pieces in this way.
11. After all the components of the Christmas tree are glued together, it is necessary to paint it.

To make your Christmas tree more beautiful, you can glue something to it. By the way, your Christmas tree will look much more beautiful if there is a star on its top.

Cut out two stars from paper. Place a pencil or some kind of stick between them, after smearing these stars with glue. Paint the resulting product red, and stick it into the top of the product. Congratulations, your Christmas tree is ready!

This craft is the most beautiful and spectacular. First, it is voluminous. Secondly, it most of all looks like a Christmas tree. It is carried out from special modules in the form of triangles. Making them is very easy. To do this, you need to watch a video that lasts one minute.

You can choose the size of these modules yourself. For example, if you want your Christmas tree to be the size of a real tree, you can make one module from an A4 sheet. However, most often from an A4 sheet, 16 or 32 triangular modules are made.

Detailed instruction making a Christmas tree from modules with your own hands:

1. You need to make a branch. Take two modules, and insert the two near corners into both pockets of the third module.
2. Insert one corner of the next module into each near pocket of the previous two modules.
3. Collect a branch, alternating in each row, then 2 modules, then 1.
4. One branch is assembled from 12 rows of dark green modules.
5. The last two rows must be made light green.
6. Next, you need to make lateral processes. To do this, you need to collect branches of five rows. They are assembled according to the same principle as the previous branch. The main thing is that the last two rows are light green.
7. Take a large branch, consisting of 12 rows. Step back three rows down, and put two side processes on the protruding corners of the modules.
8. It is necessary to make 5 such branches with lateral processes.
9. Next, you need to connect these branches to each other. For this you will need 5 modules.
10. In the center of the resulting ring, you need to stick a wooden stick.
11. Make four intermediate rings. They are made of 14 modules according to the same principle as the branches were connected into one ring.
12. Make 4 more rings from twigs. However, now these branches should be shorter. The second ring should be made of 10 rows, the third of 8, the fourth of 6, and the fifth of 4.
13. Put all the rings on the stick one by one, remembering to put on the intermediate rings.
14. Make a top for the Christmas tree. It is done in exactly the same way as a branch of 8 rows.
15. Put on the crown.

Of course, at first glance, the implementation of crafts may seem very difficult, but it is not. Moreover, it is very exciting and fun, unless, of course, you do it alone.

In order not to suffer with cutting paper modules, buy a special set of modular origami. The kit will include instructions and blanks.

Most people perceive information much better visually. Therefore, in order to better understand how to do this craft, you can watch a video with a master class.

Modular origami is a great way to develop fine motor skills and cheer up. Try to get your kids involved in this activity, because it is very useful for improving motor skills, attention and concentration.

Now you know how to make an origami Christmas tree out of paper. This will enable you to create and maintain new Year mood and make your kids happy. I wish you success!
