This palm tree is made of 2 square pieces of paper.
Step 1:This paper is for the tree trunk.
The size is 6x6 inch.
The backside of the paper is white.
Make a mountain-fold over the yellow line.
Step 2:
Make a valley-fold over the yellow line.
Make this fold over both layers of the model.
Step 3:
Make a valley-fold over this line.
Make this fold over all the layers of the model.
Unfold this fold after you made it.
Step 4:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Make these folds over all the layers of the model too.
Unfold each fold after you made one.
Step 5:
Turn the model.
Step 6:
Fold the piece below to the backside of the model
by making a mountain-fold over the yellow line.
Step 7:
Fold the piece of step 6 back to the frontside of the model
by making a valley-fold over the yellow line.
This line is just a bit above the bottom of the model.
Step 8:
Repeat steps 6 and 7 a few more times until you
reach the top of the model.
Start at the yellow line in this picture.
Step 9:
Make a triangular tube of the model by making
a mountain-fold over these lines.
Leave a part of the bottom of the tree trunk open,
see the opening on the right in the picture of step 10.
This is to make the tree trunk stand more solid.
Step 10:
If you like, you can glue the edges of the tree trunk
together on the places that are indicated with
an arrow.
Step 11:
The tree trunk is ready...
Step 12:
This paper is for the part with the leaves.
The size is 4,5x4,5 inch.
Both sides of this paper are coloured.
Make mountain- and valley-folds over the 4 lines.
Unfold each fold after you made one.
Step 13:
First, make a valley-fold over the 2 lines below, on the right.
Then, make a mountain-fold over the 2 lines in the middle.
And make a valley-fold over the 2 lines on top, on the left.
Now you get a basic-shape.
Step 14:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Make these folds over the upper 2 layers of the model.
Step 15:
Unfold the folds you made in step 14.
Step 16:
Pull the end at the bottom of the arrow up by making
a valley-fold over the yellow line.
Step 17:
Press the edges that stand upwards down, see arrows.
Use the folds you made in step 14 as help-lines.
Step 18:
Now the model looks like this.
Repeat steps 14 to 17 on the backside of the model.
Curl the 4 ends around a pencil or a finger.
