I casually made a three-dimensional origami fir tree.
While I was thinking about whether to use it as a decoration or not, my daughter, who was looking at it beside me, she said “A card that pops up!”.
Thanks for the great idea. I immediately made it into a card.
The paper I used was kite paper. It is a transparent origami paper used for window stars. The translucent material creates a delicate atmosphere. But you can also make it with origami paper or colored paper that you have around you. It’s a great quick craft for December. Please give it a try.

Instructions for making

Step 1. Fold the Paper

Fold the origami paper crosswise.

Fold it into a square along the crease lines.

Fold it into a square along the crease lines.

Spread one bag out with your fingers and fold it into a triangle as if to crush it.

Fold the remaining three sections into a triangle in the same manner.

Step 2. Cut the Paper

Cut off the line with scissors.

Make six incisions on each side as shown in the photo line.

Step 3. Fold the Paper Again

Fold it diagonally like the dotted lines in the photo. The tree was formed.

The overlapping pieces on each side are folded in the same manner, one by one.
In total, eight pieces of paper are used to make a three-dimensional tree.

Step 4. Finish to Card

To make the tree trunk, prepare a 2x8cm piece of brown paper and fold it into 8 equal bellows.

Glue the back of the tree to the card. Place the tree trunk under the tree.
The pop-up Christmas tree card is complete.
