Origami Christmas Tree
This Christmas Tree is the latest origami model by Francesco Guarnieri which he generously shared just a few days ago!
It’s folded from 6 octagons of different sizes that you cut out of squares after some pre-creasing. Follow the link below for the Crease Pattern.
No cutting or gluing required to make the units but you may want to add a dab of glue between them for more stability (though I didn’t). Great design to make and decorate your home or office for the Holiday Season!

Thanks so much for contributing to the diffusion of my model.

Thank you Francesco, I’m glad you like it!)
Beautiful in blue! Thanks so much for the photo hints; and also to Francesco for the design & diagram
I feel like this tree will look great in any color really!
Gorgeous! Sugar paper? Blue and white Christmas theme, blue angels, silver or gold stars, very eclectic…
¡Muchas Gracias por compartir!

I did 1 extra 9 cm on the top… Looks better ))
The more the better!
You can also try to rearrange units in a different way, something like that

Thank you so much for the photo diagrams…I would not have been able to figure out the folding without them. And thanks to Francesco for such a great model!
Hey, I am having some problems collapsing the crease pattern, owing to the fact that the example, while beautiful, is also colored on both sides, does anyone have a collapse example in single sided paper? Help? I have all the pieces cut and creased, but this is killing me!
Hi Randrews -
The first 6 pics of my “collapsing tutorial” show the colored side of the paper in case of one-sided paper. Before collapsing place your precreased piece colored side up and check with the first step if all creases that supposed to be mountains are mountains, and all valleys are valleys.
Also note that the biggest picture in Francesco’s Crease Pattern shows the white side of the paper, and steps 2-5 of the CP show the colored side.
Adore the model, well done, will make some trees as christmas table decoration, thank you for sharing
can you make a video ??
thanks
ciao francesco! l’albero è stupendo…tanto che dopo averlo scoperto una settimana prima di Natale ho tentato di replicarlo con i miei alunni a scuola ma non ci siamo proprio riusciti!!!
magari vedere un video sarebbe molto più esplicativo per chi come me è alle prime armi….
comunque complimenti!
