how to make origami tree

Remember the utterly talented Jenny who has shared quite a few origami video tutorials here in Craft Passion, especially the 3D Bird Origami? Today, Jenny is back again with her another written tutorial and video tutorial to make this beautiful Christmas Tree Origami.

My son recently is going crazy about origami, this Christmas Tree Origami tutorial comes in time for him to try it out, especially during this holiday season. After all, origami is a great kid craft where kids got to work their little fingers to be crafty.

Jenny W Chan is a native New Yorker, self-taught origamist/crafter, and a lover of music & YouTube. She has been folding origami since she was a little girl. Although origami diagrams and written instructions are useful, she believes that video tutorials that provide 360-degree views of models are equally invaluable. As such, Jenny offers free tutorials on her YouTube channel: Josthebomb, and on her website Origami Tree, where you can also find free printable origami paper.

Jenny’s favorite holiday is Christmas. In spite of the bitter cold temperatures in NYC, she finds joy in the festivities and getting together with friends and family.

This papercraft Christmas Tree Origami is one of her favorite crafts for the winter. She hopes that the video tutorial, in conjunction with the still images and written instructions, will be helpful to you. Jenny: “Thank you, CraftPassion.com, for giving me the opportunity to share! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  :-)”
