DIY Origami Paper Christmas Trees


DIY Origami Paper Christmas Trees Craft Tutorial - BirdsParty.com

When it comes to creating a table centerpiece (or any decor for that matter) that's original and inexpensive, I turn to paper!

Bonus points if you can re-purpose, re-use or recycle papers you may already have around the home, like I did for my Origami Christmas Trees table centerpiece this year.

For this Christmas Tree Origami table decor, I used wall paper, gift wrapping paper and of course, my go-to life-saver - PRINTABLES!

Yes, I love printables so much that they need to be in capitals.

Anyways, this is the tutorial I promised you guys.
And I also promise it's mega EASY to make

It takes no time at all to perfect it, and once you start, you'll wanna origami-fy any piece of paper. Trust!

My kids and I made a bunch of these in an afternoon of crafting and they LOVED it!
Again, with capital letters.

So you see, this DIY craft also doubles as a great way to entertain yourself and/or kids during the Holidays. It could well be a tradition we start in our home - It's that much FUN!

Oh, and can we take a moment to appreciate how cute those glittery gold stars on top of the trees are?! Glitter rules!

You leave the trees without any decor on top; or hot glue the tops with foam, glittery stars (from any craft store). Or even mini pompoms made with glittery yarn!

  1. Thank you for this great tutorial. I was in need of a unique centerpiece for a Holiday Party of 120 people. I made these in an hour in a half for 18 tables, put them on a mirror on the table and placed miniature bells all around them. Everyone loved them and wanted to know how to make them. I directed here and told them what a nice video you had on how to make them.

  5. What size paper did you use for each of the different sizes of trees?

    1. For the medium ones I used 12 x 12 inches, for the tall ones I used 24 x 24 inch.

  6. I too wonder how big of papers you used for which size trees. Also, I have trouble with how far into the paper tree form you make your cuts? Mine just don't seem to fold like yours do. It also looks like you made more than three cuts in some of the trees in the group photo. Thank you for such a fun, cheap decor!

    1. For the medium ones I used 12 x 12 inches, for the tall ones I used 24 x 24 inch. Only make cuts about half way in. It all depends on the size of your tree, but as long as you don't cut all the way in, you'll be fine! :)

    2. Thanks, Cristina for your quick reply! I did finally (with the third try!) figure out the folding of the tree tips. Knowing the sizes of paper is helpful as well. I am just sad I didn't discover these before Christmas but plan to have them around for the "winter" season. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

  8. What do you use for the gold stars on top?

    1. Hi Danielle, those are Styrofoam stars from a craft store. Or you could use gold paper or make your own out of modelling clay or gold foam? :)

  9. These were such fun to make! I found a stack of various sizes and colors of green paper on our building's Free Bench and knew I had to do something festive with it. I wish I could share a photo of my results. Thank you for sharing your skills!
