New Year is the most favorite holiday at any age. A green fluffy tree decorated with colorful balls is the main symbol of this day. In addition, the New Year is a great time to show care and attention to your family. Today we will see how you can please your friends by making a charming origami for the New Year as a gift.
Origami is translated from Japanese as folded paper. This is the oldest art of folding elegant figures from colorful sheets. Origami first appeared in China, where the main material for crafts was opened. To create original holiday gifts, you only need colored paper, scissors and a little patience.
Elegant Christmas tree
The frame of the Christmas tree and each of its branches are made in the same way, but from paper of different sizes. However, a Christmas tree without twigs and needles will be a wonderful decoration for the desktop of your friends. It all depends on your patience.
1. To prepare one piece, we take the square of the desired size. We bend it, outlining the diagonal and the transverse bend. Fold the square into a double triangle.
2. Each resulting corner is bent towards the middle, and then straightened.
3. Turn the resulting model and bend the opposite protruding corners inward.
4. On each side of the resulting rhombus, the lower edges are bent to the middle. We bend a sharp peak.
5. Carefully unfold everything, do not straighten it completely, carefully push it to the top and turn the workpiece out.
6. Fold along the planned lines in the reverse order, and the Christmas tree is ready.
Further, if desired, we prepare many small Christmas trees according to the same scheme and glue them to the main Christmas tree. It turns out great origami for the New Year, which can be presented, for example, to colleagues.
Modular Christmas tree
Another origin
The main technique of origami for the New Year is the creation of figures from individual elements. Try to make a beautiful
modular origami. A gift for the New Year in the form of an original Christmas tree will surely be appreciated by your friends and acquaintances.
1. Make blank modules according to the rules of classic origami. For such a Christmas tree, you will need 250 modules of a light green shade and 400 - a dark blue shade.
2. For the manufacture of Christmas trees, we begin to prepare the first rows of twigs. To do this, two modules are inserted into the two near corners of the third module. The third row is constructed by connecting the corners of the second row and new models. Alternate light green and dark green shades of flowers. Thus, for the manufacture of one branch, you need to make 12 rows of modules. Then we connect 5 identical branches in a single ring. This will be the basis for our future Christmas tree.
3. We will make an intermediate ring of 7 modules and begin to prepare the next ring from smaller module branches. The next ring will also consist of 5 identical branches. Thus, we prepare 4 rings, reducing the size of the branches.
4. The top of the origami Christmas tree for the New Year is made as a twig of 8 rows. It remains to put the crown on the tree, and our gift is ready.
So, modular origami for the New Year is the best gift for relatives. Having many friends and relatives, everyone can be congratulated with an original gift. Happy New Year!
