Origami Santa Step-1

Step-11
Fold this point back up again, but not all the way to the top, then fold it back down again so the new crease is in line with the one from the previous step.

Turn the unit over, then take the bottom corners and fold them up to the top central one.

Step-3
Fold the pointed tip down and back up again to create a crimp.

Step-4
Turn the sheet over, then fold up the bottom point a short distance.

Step-5
Fold the bottom up so the crease is a horizontal line between the two side corners.
img_7179_edit.jpg?sw=554&q=85
Step-6
Fold the flap you just created down, so that the crease is a little above the crease made in the previous step. This is the trunk of the tree.
img_7180_edit.jpg?sw=554&q=85
Step-7
To make the trunk a little thinner, fold one side edge in a little, neatly squashing the triangle that forms at the top of the crease.

img_7187-edit.jpg?sw=554&q=85
Step-8
Repeat this step on the trunk's other edge.

img_7187-edit.jpg?sw=554&q=85
Step-9
Repeat this technique on the lower segment of the tree body, folding one side in then squashing the triangle, then repeat that on the other side of the body segment.
img_7184-edit.jpg?sw=554&q=85
img_7187-edit.jpg?sw=554&q=85
Step-10
Turn the sheet over and you've finished your tree!
