Christmas origami5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Now you'll kind of fluff out the center while pressing it down centered (see video). ![]() ![]() Take one leg of your triangle, point it directly up to the ceiling, while holding the rest of the triangle flat on the table. You should be left with an isosceles triangle. See the video for this step in particular since it's kind of hard to explain written out. It may help to flip your paper over, and fold it in half on the opposite side. You're basically going to push one of the horizontal lines inward so you create a triangle. If you ever made origami frogs growing up, you'll remember this move. It should have a line going down the middle of the sheet going both ways, and an X to each diagonal. Now you're going to turn your paper 90 degrees and repeat the fold in half.Īt this point, your paper should look like the photo below. Now you're going to fold the sheet of paper in half. Now you'll cross over and fold the other diagonal, corner to corner. So if you did the first step, you already have your first diagonal fold. I started with regular construction paper, so I had to start by folding the corner of the paper over, to make it a square and then cutting off the excess on the bottom. If you're starting with square sheets of paper, you can skip this step.

Hey presto – you have your first (but hopefully not your last) finished origami bauble! Top tip: it's a good idea to work on gluing a few decorations at once, say four or five, as by the time you have glued a couple of sections of them all, the first one will be strong enough to work on again. Take the other paper shape, line up the points and hold in place until secure.Ĭontinue gluing around the edges, two or three points at a time, until you have created one whole shape. Remove the needle and tie a large knot in the ribbon (you don't want it coming up through the hole you just made.) Apply a little glue to the knot to secure it.Īpply some glue to two of the points of one paper shape. Cut a small slit in the centre of one of the shapes and thread the ribbon through the hole, then back down again to create a loop. Repeat the whole process to create a second identical shape.Ĭut a 25cm-long piece of thin ribbon or twine and thread it onto a large needle. Do this all the way around and place to one side. Fold the small triangles youâve just created inwards, and crease. Repeat this technique on all of the sections. With the base of the triangle towards you, take the right point and fold it up to the central crease. Open out a section, fold the inner piece to the right and press along the crease. With the base of the triangle facing towards you, use the same technique as in step six. Flip it over and do the same on the other side.Ĭut off the excess triangles from the top. With the open side of the diamond facing away from you, fold in the two sides to the central crease to create a kite shape. Open out the left side of the diamond and fold the inner piece over to the right, then press along the crease. Turn the diamond shape around 180 degrees. Repeat this by taking the left point down to the bottom point, and fold. With the base of the triangle towards you, take the right point down to the bottom point and fold. Take one square of paper, fold diagonally in half then open it out.įold the square diagonally in half the other way, this time keeping it folded. Shop our full arts and crafts range here.
