The fold and cut theorem, which states that, after sufficient folding, any shape made of straight lines can be cut out of a piece of paper in one cut, is probably the most crafts-friendly result in all of maths. Inspired by The Aperiodical’s very own Katie Steckles’ video on the subject, Sam Hartburn has created a handy PDF with instructions for folding and cutting a festive Christmas tree shape.
