Making the Base<\/h2>\n

Origami palm trees can be made with different materials such as paper, fabric, or even plastic. Regardless of what you use, the basic form is a fan fold, or simply folding the paper into an accordion. Start by folding a square piece of paper in half. To do this, bring the corners opposite each other together, making sure they match up. Unfold the paper, it should now have a crease in the middle. Then, take the top and bottom corner of the paper and bring them together overlapping at the crease line in the middle. Now fold the paper in half again along the crease line. Finally, you should have a fan fold.<\/p>\n

Forming the Fronds<\/h2>\n

Now that you’ve created the basic fan fold, it’s time to make the fronds of the palm tree. At one short end of the fan fold, fold the bottom upwards, creating a triangle shape. Then on the opposite side, fold the bottom up again at a slightly different angle. Then, fold the next outside layer at the same angle, and continue doing that until you reach the end. <\/p>\n

Adding the Stems<\/h2>\n

Once all the fronds have been made, you can move onto forming the stems of the palm tree. To do this, hold the fronds together near the center and make a fold near the pointed end, then unfold. Make sure to keep your fronds together. After this, you will want to add a stem for each frond underneath by making a small fold at the base of each one of them. Then you can use the center of your paper to simply tuck all the stems and fronds into the fan fold. <\/p>\n

Adding Details<\/h2>\n

To make your palm tree look more realistic, some details can be added. To do this, you can add a small circle near the pointed end of each frond. This creates a shape of a flower and makes your origami palm tree look more realistic. <\/p>\n
