Paper christmas tree


Merry christmas! Christmas tree made of paper stars. You can use the pdf file for the nine different sizes. You need six stars per size. The tree is build of 18 layers. Each layer has three stars of the same size. Take a wooden block, make a hole and stick a cocktail stick in. Thread the first layer of stars ( 3x size 1) to the stick.  Then thread a piece  of straw or a bead on the stick to separate the layers.  Continue with another layer of three stars from size one ending with a straw or bead. Then continue with two layers of size two and so on until you've had all sizes.

What do you think of these stunning folded Christmas trees?!! Made for the window of a paint and wallpaper store Bij Kaat. These trees are made of two types of fabulous silver wallpaper. I used a square of 52 by 52 centimeters. After folding the tree is about 35 centimeters high. See my former tutorial folding Christmas trees

Budget wrapping








Wrapping gifts is super fun to do! With a little searching you can find pretty good but also cheap wrapping paper.
Over the wrapping paper I did a layer of transparent paper. All the wrapping paper and the gift tag comes from Flying Tiger . One of my favorite shops at the moment.
