December 15, 2023

Today we would like to show you how you can conjure up a clever little box in the shape of a Christmas tree and even in 2 variations. Perfect for wonderful little things for your loved ones this Christmas.

What do you need for this?

Material:

For each Christmas tree you need a square paper of your choice (15 x 15 cm)

Tool:

Preparation

Cut the design paper to the dimensions 15 x 15 cm .

Step 1

Fold the paper in half horizontally and vertically - but only the outer quarter.

Then open the sheet again.

Then you fold each diagonally, also only the outer quarter, and then open it again.

step 2

Now place the sheet diagonally in front of you and fold the bottom corner towards the middle. Don't fold it completely, just press the center point briefly with your finger.

Open the sheet and repeat this step with the same corner. Always fold with the tip towards the previously pressed center point.

Repeat this step with all 4 corners.

step 3

Then open the sheet again and place the bottom corner upwards at the second point you pressed in the previous step.

Only fold the middle part of the bottom edge. Repeat this step with all 4 corners.

Step 4

Open the paper again and place it horizontally in front of you. Now place the lower half on the upper half without pressing firmly

Now take the left side and fold it back at the specified point. Allow the tip to fall back loosely.

Open and turn the sheet. The bottom right corner is now folded over to the fold line and opened again. Repeat the steps on this side and the other side.

Open the sheet again, rotate it 90 degrees and repeat the steps for both sides. Open the sheet again, it should look something like this.

Now pinch the sheet in the middle on the right and left sides and also in the middle at the top and bottom so that the small pyramid closes at the top.

The pages fold over each other in a clockwise direction. The protruding corners on the sides are folded inwards.

The opening at the top can be pressed flat with a rotating hand movement (clockwise). Alternatively, you can fold the excess leaves at the top under the flaps underneath and glue them in place.
