Fold a fir tree. Dangling fir trees – light for hanging, and impressive when you look at them.

Fold a fir tree

You need a square base folded by the middle and the diagonals (see how on the picture). The difficult part is at the beginning, steps (1) and (4), (5) and (6), where the folded part has to be opened and folded inside. This is repeated three more times.
