Instructions, how to make an origami Christmas tree in 14 steps.
Total Time: 25 minutes
Step 1: Prepare your materials
![Materials Materials](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2-materials-1.jpg)
Take all the materials and tools from the list.
Step 2: Take the green paper

Fold one of the green squares diagonally.
Step 3: Fold the figure in half again

Fold the resulting triangle in half, marking the center line.
Step 4: Make the triangle into a square
![Make the triangle into a square Make the triangle into a square](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/5-make-the-triangle-into-a-square.jpg)
Fold the side corners of the triangle to this center line.
Step 5: Use glue for the corners
![Use glue for the corners Use glue for the corners](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/6-use-glue-for-the-corners.jpg)
Flip the piece 180 degrees, then join the corners and glue them together.

Now fold each side of the piece so that the center line is marked. The first origami module for the future Christmas tree is ready.
Step 7: Repeat the previous steps and make 2 more identical pieces

From the remaining two green squares, make the same pieces. We should have a total of 3 blanks for the Christmas tree.
Step 8: Joining the two pieces together
![Joining the two pieces together Joining the two pieces together](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/9-joining-the-two-pieces-together.jpg)
Start connecting the two pieces together. Apply glue to the thin part of one module and then insert it into the other.
Step 9: Make a Christmas tree from three modules

Add the third module by gluing it together. The result is a green Christmas tree like the one shown in the photo.
Step 10: Start creating the trunk
![Start creating the trunk Start creating the trunk](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/11-start-creating-the-trunk.jpg)
Take the brown rectangle you prepared earlier, fold it in half, and then unfold it.
Step 11: Make a square out of the rectangle
![Make a square out of the rectangle Make a square out of the rectangle](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/12-make-a-square-out-of-the-rectangle.jpg)
Fold the sides of the rectangle to the center line.
Step 12: Glue the two sides of the brown piece together
![Glue the two sides of the brown piece together Glue the two sides of the brown piece together](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/13-glue-the-two-sides-of-the-brown-piece-together.jpg)
Then apply glue to one side of the square, and glue the opposite side on top. The result is a blank with three sides.
Step 13: Fold the trunk
![Fold the trunk Fold the trunk](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/14-fold-the-trunk.jpg)
