Christmas tree

Hello,

I have done a search here for Christmas trees, and I found a simple looking one on the copywrite revisited post where an individual showed a kirigami tree, but I would like to see one that is Origami... and a little more interesting... I came across on on a site that I forget that was cool...it had a golden star <which I think was a seperate peice, and that is ole korrectum...errr o.k.

I mean" its leaves where uhmm... fractal? Looking for a lack of a better word... like each branch had a triangle with smaller triangles within that .. very cool. So anyway... any christmas trees out there? And realistically I would prefer not an ISBN because it would never get her in time for the holidays... a personally created one would be special

and like it would be even more special if i could get some tips onhow to design a tree on my own...but I don't know where to begin. Okay thanks for reading yet another rambling

As a p.s. I found the site with the fractal Christmas tree :

This "fractal" christmas tree looks as if each layer is made of a seperate piece of paper, each part folded the same way but with differently sized paper.
It still looks very nice though, and if you come across diagrams of it, they would be interesting to see

I think I know how this fractal tree was made.
Check this link, that's Ushio Ikegami's fractal pyramid.

The tree is much simpler but it looks like being the same structure.

And there's a diagram for Ushio Ikegami's fractal in a Tanteidan Convention book, I just forgot which one...

Here is one dollar bill fold http://dev.origami.com/images_pdf/xmastree.pdf and here is a modular tree,

Hope on of these will work.
Oh, and I found all of these just doing a Google search.

wow! these trees are great! i would like to see a diagram...do you think they would work with other materials than tissue foil? thanks for sharing this

oh and btw... christmas was nice , especially because a little 5 year old girl just learned how to fold, and she made this cool rose bowl thing...... her folds were so precise!

Just plain tissue or mulberry would work too (wet tissue, crumple, dry off); that's how Floderer does his mushrooms after all...

Kids generally have more perfectionist tendencies than adults, it seems!
