3D Christmas Tree Card
Holiday card with 3D paper tree
Surprise your loved ones with an original and festive greeting card! This tutorial guides you step by step to create a 3D tree inside a card, using the simple technique of paper accordion folding.
Just fold strips of decorative Christmas-themed paper in an accordion style, then assemble them to form the different branches of the tree. Add some stickers, foam stickers, or shiny decorations to personalize your creation and give it even more magic.
How to make this craft step-by-step:
Step 1
On a sheet of colored paper (red here), draw 5 strips of different widths: 1.5 cm, 2.5 cm, 4 cm, 5.5 cm. These will form the different branches of the tree.
Step 2
Fold the entire sheet accordion-style, perpendicular to the drawn lines. Make sure to keep the folds regular.
Step 3
Cut the strips following the marks made in step 1. Continue until you have 5 accordions of increasing sizes.
Step 4
Cut an A4 sheet in half to form the card. Inside, draw a central line and mark points every 2 cm.
Step 5
Glue the folded strips inside the card, starting with the smallest at the top and following the marked references down to the largest at the bottom.
Step 6
Finish by decorating with stickers and foam stickers for a festive and creative touch.

Very enjoyable to make but lacks explanations, not detailed enough especially for the Christmas tree garlands.
Très agréable à faire mais manque d’explications, pas assez détaillé surtout pour les guirlandes du sapin
