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 torsion 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. From ready-made rectangles we make triangular modules. 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!

Paper origami Christmas tree - step by step with your own hands:

To make an origami Christmas tree, we need to take colored double-sided paper square shape or take a regular A4 sheet and fold a square, cut off the excess part.

We fold a sheet of paper for origami crafts in half diagonally, then turn it back and fold again diagonally, but on the other side.

Unfold the sheet again and fold it in half across. Unfold again and fold in half again.

Now fold the sheet diagonally into a triangle.


On the right side, we bend the small triangle inward as shown in the photo below.


We do the same action on the opposite side. - we get a figure in the form of a square, only deployed.


Inside - this design looks like this.


We bend the right side to the center line into a triangle, on the left side we bend the same triangle to the center.

Turn the figure over to the other side and do the action described above. As a result, we get such a rhombus.

Next, fold one side and carefully bend inward. We also act with the other three sides and get just such a voluminous figure.

We cut off the lower triangular part with scissors - we get the shape of a Christmas tree with eight sides.

On both sides of the future Christmas tree we make small cuts, not reaching the center line.


We begin to bend the corners of the origami Christmas tree down, starting from the lowest tier.


We bend all the corners except the top, we leave it unchanged.

We need to bend the corners on all eight sides of the Christmas tree - we should get such a paper design.


Now straighten all sides of the Christmas tree evenly in a circle. It turned out a beautiful origami Christmas tree made of paper with fluffy branches. Making your own is great! Be sure to make your Christmas tree following this step-by-step description with a photo.

Stages of manufacturing Christmas tree modules

1. Assemble the green and white modules.

2. Take 16 green modules. 8 of them will be required for the first row and 8 for the second.

3. Connect these modules using Method 2 (“modules on short sides”) and complete the chain of modules in a circle.

4. The first (upper) tier of the Christmas tree turned out.

5. To make the second tier, repeat steps 2 and 3 and add a third row alternating green and white pieces.

6. To make the next tier, take 30 green modules and assemble them into three rows of 10 modules each, using the same fastening method.

7. Close the resulting chain in a circle by connecting the extreme modules together.

8. Add 5 white modules to the tier, skipping two rays from the green modules of the previous row.

9. We pass to the fourth tier. To start, repeat steps 6 and 7.

10. Complete the tier with the fourth row, consisting of 15 green modules: put one module on two corners from two neighboring modules of the previous row, then one module with an outer pocket on one corner of the previous row and one with an outer pocket on the corner of the next module of the previous row. Do the same four more times, following in a circle.

11. The next row will consist of 5 white modules, put on the inner corners of the green modules, which were dressed in one corner.

12. For the fifth tier of the Christmas tree, connect 48 modules (four rows of 12 pieces) and lock them into a ring.

13. In the fifth row of the fifth tier, put on 6 green modules, passing two corners of the previous row between them.

14. Put on “legs” consisting of 5 modules on these corners (see paragraph 15).

15. foot: fasten 2 green pieces by inserting the right corner into the right pocket, and 2 green pieces by inserting the left corner into the left pocket. Connect the blanks together with a white module, leaving the corners of the green modules on both sides free.

16. To assemble the sixth tier, you need to connect four rows of 14 green modules and close them in a ring.

17. In the fifth row of this tier, put on 7 green modules, passing two corners of the previous row between them.

18. On these corners, put on “legs” made of two green figures (unlike the previous ones, each blank consists of 3 modules), interconnected by a white module.

19. "Top" is assembled from four external and four internal modules, fixed in a circle.

Let's move on to assembly.

20. To make the barrel, use a thin wooden stick and, for stability, stick it, for example, into an eraser.

Put on the tiers you made on the stick, starting from the sixth and ending with the crown.

Dressed up the Christmas tree in a festive dress:

In colorful garlands, in bright lights,

And stands, sparkling, a Christmas tree in a magnificent hall,

Sadly remembering the old days.

The Christmas tree dreams of an evening, monthly and starry,

Snowy glade, sad cry of wolves

And pine neighbors, in frosty mantles,

All in diamond sequins, in fluff of snow.

And the neighbors stand in gloomy sadness,

They dream and drop white snow from the branches ...

They dream of a Christmas tree in a lighted hall,

Laughter and stories of joyful children.

Video 2: Modular Origami Christmas Tree

simple origami tree

This master class is much simpler than the previous one. The Christmas tree is made from a sheet of green paper using scissors, although this technique is not used in classic origami.

You will need a square of double-sided paper 20x20. It will make a Christmas tree 12 cm high.

Step by step instructions in pictures:

We make a square, fold in half, connecting opposite corners. Then - the basic design common in origami - a triangle with nested internal corners.
