How to Make an Easy Popup Christmas Tree Card (difficulty 2/10)
Difficulty: 2/10.
Learn how to make an easy popup Christmas card with a tree theme with this tutorial. Even young kids can do this Christmas craft. It's great for making Christmas cards for special relatives, teachers, parents, or even Santa Claus. There is a little folding, but not as much as with my usual origami tutorials.

Origami Kusudama Flower Tutorial (difficulty 5/10)

This gorgeous origami kusudama flower is easy to fold. But the difficulty level of five is based on assembling of the five kusudama petals together with glue and actually getting them together correctly. Five-way symmetry is not everyone's forte. Quickly learn how to fold this origami kusudama flower, and the results are stunning. A friend of mine used these origami kusudama flowers for her wedding bouquet!
