Last sunday, I helped my mother to create an inexpensive good looking Christmas Tree and I thought you might enjoy it too. It is very inexpensive because it uses only PAPER !
I love celebrating Christmas and what I like even more is to get the house ready to welcome family and friends.
Despite a pretty good idea of I wanted to create, I had a look on internet to find complementary ideas and I’ll give you the links of the how-to-do explanation.
1. Rolling Flame
I got inspired by Ellinée Journal to create 3D rolling flames. It is easy to do, less than 5 minutes per flame.
You only need :
- A square piece of paper
- Scissors
- Glue
2. Paper Star
It’s a bit more complicated than the flame, but once you understand the move, it’s fast. It took me about 10minutes per stars after a bit of practise.
- 6 square pieces of paper (light is best)
- Glue
You have to repeat 6 times the same fold of paper explained in the PDF above : 
Once that’s done, stick them together. I used hot glue for that.
Here is the result, a very symmetrical star !
3. Little Christmas tree
As I love the shape of pine trees covered in snow, I really enjoyed this one.
I got inspired by the blog 86 lemons.
To me it is the easiest of all ! it takes 2 minutes to create one tree.
You only need :
- Some paper, any size, any shape is good
- blade-cutter
- scissors
- Fold 2 pieces of paper together and draw half of the tree shape. Cut around it like that :
- Use a blade-cutter to cut on the red line.
- Assemble the two pieces together and hang it with a little thread. And here is the result !
4. Paper Rosette
Another easy one to create. I got inspired by Torie Jayne blog.
You only need :
- rectangle of paper
- glue
Fold the paper in accordeon and assemble them altogether. She uses thread but I used glue. The paper rosette has been added to teh top of the Christmas tree, with little lights behind, it is a great result!
I added as well a few feather and little silver garland and fairy lights.
If your Christmas tree isn’t down yet, I hope this article has been helpfull !
