I thought I would pause to share what I have been making before the season is past. I have
been so busy decorating this year, (which I have not been interested in doing for a while) but I
found out my grandson will be with us for a few days, so its given me reason to get busy and
create a festive atmosphere with 4 trees and the mantel decorated, a nativity scene and dining
room centerpiece.
I have seen several Christmas decorations/projects that are of interest to me this year and one
is a magazine Christmas tree, oh how fun. I have made about 5 of them and they are so easy.
I will share some pointers, find a magazine that does not have a gazillion pages, one that is
lighter weight paper. I have used sale inserts and magazines and they work well, but they do
have to have the center stapled.
Another thing, I dont like a magazine that has a heavy cover or a glued spine.
So you might wonder…..which magazine worked for me….in the picture I am sharing I used an
All You magazine!! Mind you I have plenty of them in my house, even stashed in cupboards for
later browsing….another story…another day.

2. So what you need for the project:
Magazine with at least 108-130 pages (Gives fullness)
Glue stick
Spray Paint or not
Lightweight Christmas ribbon
Step 1 Open magazine and on the second page, make a fold to center slightly away from the
center. (Step 1 photo)
Step 2 Fold again to center pressing crease firmly. It will look like a tie (Step 2 photo)
Step 3 Fold the tail up to the edge of the magazine (Step 3 photo)
Step 4 Continue through the magazine to the end and include the front page
Step 5 Spread pages so the even out all around
Options:
If the bottom forces the pages to separate, use the glue stick to tack down each one
You can choose to leave unpainted or spray a light coat of your choice of color
Add a ribbon of your choice and use a bit of glue to adhere.
Use spray glue and sprinkle with glitter
Top with a star
I was inspired to make a paper tree from My Sweethings Paper Christmas Tree
This was a quick little project and I like easy. Give one a try.
