Origami Christmas Trees: Step-by-step guide with photos and description

Before you start folding your origami Christmas tree, we recommend watching the video once or twice. For better results, you can use special origami paper. This is available in almost every stationery store. A pack usually contains square sheets in various colors. The advantage of origami paper is its thinner thickness, making it easier to fold the figures.
