"Christmas Cards"

[Fifi-T]

It's funny I made them with my Grandad when I was little, he also taught me how to make a box, a boat and most importantly a big hat!

A quick pictureless tutorial, see if it makes sense.

Take a 4" square of card, fold in half diagonally and then unfold.

Fold 2 opposing corners to the halfway fold to make a hex shape (or square with corners chopped off if you think of it that way).

Fold this in half along the long diagonal fold, and then fold (to get a trapezium), and fold this in half along the long length and open out.

Repeat twice more.

Lay ontop of each other all in same orientation. Staple in middle.

Open out and secure the rear edges (double sided tape looks better, but I used staples as a kid). The front edges are the long sides.

I will post with photos late tonight or tomorrow.
