Cut out the template along the black dotted lines

Fold along each portion of the zig-zagging lines; red lines indicate folds with the crease towards you, blue lines are folds away from you

Fold the straight horizontal lines first, alternating directions as if folding a map

Fold the page up again—�rst along the zig-zagging folds you just made, alternatingdirections again like a map

Keeping those folds in place, fold along the other direction, again alternating to and frountil the whole page is folded up to roughly the size of just one of the 35 panels

Pull the the opposite corners that are now on the outside of the folded-up page to make it unfold, and push to fold it up again. (It works best if held loosely against a table, and gets easier as the folds are repeatedly creased.) There’s an animated GIF of the fold here.

Cut out the template along the dotted lines and fold in half along the vertical red line

Just-one-cut Christmas tree

Fold along the remaining red and blue lines: red lines indicate folds with the crease toward you, blue lines are folds away from you

Starting with the �rst, central crease, fold the paired sides of the tree suchthat all the folds reveal a single, green line on either side of the paper

Cut once along the green line to create your tree. You can also cut out thedotted circle if you want to hang it from a real tree
