Tutorial: Christmas Paper Trees
Big Tree: Circle cut outs of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 inches in diameter
Small Tree: Circle cut outs of 2, 3, 4 and 5 inches in diameter
Wood dowels
glue gun
and something to use for a base
(my husband just drilled me circles out of scrap wood)
Fold each circle in half 4 times
This is what they should look like when folded completely
Snip the tip off of all circles EXCEPT the smallest circle
Once you have folded them unfold the circles and begin to fold along the creases accordion style
Your circles should look like this picture above when done
Hot glue the smallest circle to the top of the wood dowel
Then begin to slide the remaining circles on from the bottom and glue them into place
Once you are down to the bottom slip on your base and cut your dowel to the length desired
Hot glue your dowel into your base
All done!!
