Scrapbook Paper Trees


I found the idea for the folded paper tree on Pinterest here. The other I just came up with on my own (super creative I know). I'm all about using things I already have in the house so I adapted Balancing Beauty & Bedlam's tutorial. 



I used the fun paper cutter again, and cut my scrapbook paper to half inch strips. Then cut them down to 1 1/2 inches in length. 

Instead of using a Styrofoam tree I used card stock to form a cone, which is what I did with regular scrapbook paper for the plain tree.

I folded the paper and taped it on with my clear scotch tape. 

Then I finished both of them off with a tiny fluff ball for the star that you see how to make here.



I really like how they add more holiday spirit to the house!

Let me know your thoughts as always and thanks for stopping by!
