Hunting for stars, MotherOwl even practised bookfolding. It began with a star in a book, now the star is on top of the book.
Det er ret let at forvandle en gammel bog til et juletræ, og en instruktion kan findes mange steder på nettet. Men Uglemor ville ikke være Uglemor, hvis ikke hun lavede opskriften om.
Så her følger min allerførste (og nok også sidste) fold en bog-billedserie.

Folding old books intro Christmas trees is quite easy, ant the how-to is easily found in several corners of the internet. But MotherOwl has, true to form - modified the instructions.
The result: My first (and I think last) bookfolding instruction series.

A Christmas tree is made by repeating the same three folds over and over again, until you run out of pages.
Her er de første tre sider foldet. -- 🎄 -- The first three pages folded.
-- -- -- 🌠 -- -- --
FOLD 1
∗ Fold den første side diagonalt fra midten øverst til nederste hjørne. ∗ Fold the first page diagonally from the top down.
∗ Fold ud igen og fold det ind, der er i overskud.
∗ Fold back again and fold in the excess.
∗ Og fold siden ind igen. Sådan.
∗ And fold back in again. Like this.
FOLD 2
∗ Fold den nederste kant op, så kanten flugter tekstens indre kant (det er det her, der er Uglemors variation)∗ Fold up the bottom of the page, so that the edge is flush with the text (this is MotherOwl's variation).
∗ Fold topkanten ind til midten af bogen.De to foler vil overlappe hinanden.
∗ Fold the top edge to the spine of the book. The two folds overlap.
∗ Sådan ser den færdige side 2 ud.
∗ This is what page two should look like.
FOLD 3
∗ Fold igen diagonalt, men denne gang nedefra og op.∗ Once again a diagonal fold, but this time from the bottom up.
∗ Fold det oveskydende ind igen.
∗ Once again fold in the excess.
∗ Sådan
∗ Like this.
∗ Fold så toppen ned, til de to folder ligger lige oven på hinanden.
∗ Fold down the top so that the two parts of the fold are exactly on top op one another.

Continue until no more pages are left. Part of the secret is to make all folds crisp. Use the back end of a teaspoon or a bonefolder to aid in folding.

Fold or find a star for the top of the tree. You can decorate with stickers, glitter, sequins ...
Thank you! There's an old book lying around and I may as well fold and decorate it according to your instructions.
