How to make the One Sheet Origami Tree v4
Designed by Jo Nakashima (02/2020)
Difficulty level: complex

This is the ultimate version of my One Sheet Origami Tree, after 3 flat versions. Despite of the simple look, it is actually the hardest of my origami trees.

Paper

I start the tutorial with a 15cm x 15cm sheet of origami paper, but after some steps I change to a 24cm x 24cm sheet to make the steps easier to see. It’s possible to finish it with the 15cm square, but the recommended size is 24cm to get a good size for the finished model.

Diagrams

Notice: at first I’ve made these diagrams only for the video, not to be published separately. For this reason, some transitions or steps might not be so clear. If you find some step difficult, you can find more detailed instructions in the video tutorial.

Previous Christmas Trees

In addition to the One Sheet Trees, I’ve created also some of modular trees. They are easier to fold (especially the Easy Christmas Tree as its name suggests) and doesn’t need glue to connect their units. Click here to open my Christmas playlist with all my trees.

Info and diagrams

The origami Bride and the Princess are basically the same, but the bride needs a longer paper for the veil. The Princess video has a better quality and the printable pattern has marks to help you to fold it (the Bride video is older and unfortunatelly I used white paper on white background, bad choice).
You can get Princess Peach (and other Super Mario characters) printables here.

How to make an origami airplane
Designed by Jo Nakashima (17/05/2016)
Difficulty level: low intermediate

I’ve created this model to look like an airliner, but unfortunately it can’t fly (nor transport passengers). This plane isn’t hard to fold, but there is one step that can be tricky for beginners (narrowing the wings – 8:10 in the video or steps 17-18 in the diagrams). However, you can just skip this step if you think it’s too difficult.

Paper

In this tutorial I’m using a 15cm x 15cm sheet of origami paper. You can use any square size to make this origami airplane.
