After all, even a small voluminous Christmas tree made of paper, made using the technique origami, can become a wonderful element that will complement the New Year's 2016 interior of our apartment. And it consists of only 4 parts, and is quite simple to do.
Materials for creativity:
• 2 sheets of A4 paper in matching colors (we have pale blue and pale orange);
• scissors;
• ruler with pen (or pencil);
• PVA glue (a simple glue stick will also work);
• a little tinsel - to decorate the Christmas tree.

Operating procedure:
Draw and cut out the details:

• 3 squares of blue paper with sides of 12 cm, 10 cm and 8 cm.– from them we will make “branches” of the Christmas tree;
• 1 square from a sheet of the second color with a side of 8 cm - we need it to make the trunk (leg).
Now let's get down to the process of working with paper.
We are preparing the details. We bend the square in half, first vertically, then horizontally, placing corner to corner evenly.

Now we make folds along both diagonals.

We bend all 4 corners towards the center of the figure.
![Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/13/244-obemnaya-elochka-iz-bumagi.jpg)
We take the resulting square by the sides in the middle and move it towards each other, connecting it in the center.

We do the same with the top and bottom sides of the figure. We get a cross.

We bend one of the corners of the top layer.

We shift the previously made fold line to the side (left) side, forming a small triangle below (under the figure).

We move it behind the thigh of the resulting figure.

We turn the entire paper blank upside down and bend this triangle inward.

We put the workpiece in its original position, turn away the next corner of the top layer and repeat the same manipulations, as well as with the remaining two other corners.

We get a paper figure that looks like a pyramid.
![Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/13/252-obemnaya-elochka-iz-bumagi.jpg)
We fold all 4 parts of our Christmas tree in the same way.
![Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/13/253-obemnaya-elochka-iz-bumagi.jpg)
Putting the craft together. We coat the top of the orange pyramid with glue and insert it about 0.5 cm into the slots at the “bottom” of the largest blue part.

![Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/13/255-obemnaya-elochka-iz-bumagi.jpg)
Then we glue a slightly smaller pyramid in the same way and finish assembling the craft with the smallest part.

Now all we have to do is decorate the finished Christmas tree by gluing bright strips cut from tinsel in disarray.

And our paper Christmas tree is ready to become a New Year’s decoration in any corner of your office or apartment.
