Pine Tree
1. Start with a square piece of paper, colored side up. Fold the paper in
half, crease well and open, and then fold again in the other direction.
2. Turn the paper over to the white side. Fold the paper
in half, crease well and open, and then fold again in the
other direction. Your creases should look like this.
3. Using the creases you have made, bring the top three corners of the model down to the bottom corner. Flatten the model.
4. Fold toward the center
line and unfold.
8. Fold the whole model along
this crease and unfold.
5. Using the crease you have just
made, open and flatten this flap.
6. Repeat step 4 and 5
on the other three
flaps of the model.
9. Fold each full-color flap
backward underneath itself.
7. Now make sure there are
equal flaps underneath the
model, and that the top flap is
showing full color, like this.
10. Now you can adjust your pine
tree so it is even all the way
around, and it stands up by itself!
