Origami Chrismas Trees (hybrid)

Description
Made with Rachel Etrog, Dear Santa Collection

I need to work on my origami skills but I had fun making these -- folding paper is a relaxing way to quiet your mind for a bit. Definitely needed this time of year!

Oh my!! This is adorable!
Any chance you could send me the tutorial by PM please? Or maybe the place you found how to make it! I would love to try for my living room.

I followed the video directions here:

Basically for each tree, you need 3 sets of 6 squares to start with (so 6 paper squares for each level of the tree). My first was 6 x 5.5"; 6 x 4.5" and 6x3.5". The second tree I just did 5", 4" and 3". Then just fold according to the directions. I haven't glued mine at all but I might to make it a little more stable.
 
How beautiful. I don't know how long each takes to make, but they would make a beautiful garland strung together.
They take a while although I got a lot faster as I went along. I discovered that it was better to use thinner paper rather than a heavy cardstock. And that using thinner paper I could actually fold two pieces at once.
