'Nordisk Husflidstidende' was a magazine founded in Denmark in 1871 by Jens Adolf Frederik Clausson-Kaas and N. C. Rom. According to Jul i gamle hus | Gamletrehus.no - nettstedet for deg som er glad i gamle hus, in that same year, the magazine published details of Christmas decorations, some of which may have been made by folding paper. :

The source linked to above contains an image of a Christmas Tree, the caption to which reads: 'Christmas tree decorated according to description and models from Nordisk Husflidstidende in 1871. There are wicker baskets, lilies of paper, gilded eggs and walnuts, mouse stairs, lanterns and a pixie with movable arms and legs at the top of the tree.' The phrase 'wicker baskets' may refer to Woven Hearts, of which there are several on the tree.

I have not been able to obtain a copy of the original magazine article.
