"Much of the charm of origami lies in its simplicity: There is the square, there are the folds." -- Robert Lang
When I was a young girl, I loved doing origami. I remember my parents taking me to the Metropolitan Museum of art in NYC and there was a huge Christmas tree with all these origami cranes and other things on it. In fact, one year, I created a Christmas tree with only origami shapes on it. I contributed it to the local Art Museum where it got auctioned off.
So it didn't surprise me that when I saw a tutorial on how to fold a napkin into a Christmas tree, I was going to be all over that. The problem was, I didn't have any green napkins. As I was racing around town getting last minute Chrismtas shopping done, I was looking for napkins. Every place was basically sold out, but I did manage to find some at Kohl's at the last minute. I knew they weren't a perfect match, but I figured they would do the job in a pinch.
DIY tag had simple, easy to follow directions with a video too.
Very easy and now I can do it for memory.
I would definitely look for some thicker and/or stiffer napkins. Or launder these and iron them with a little starch. I can't wait for the boys to see it. I think they're going to be impressed.
