Paper Scrap Christmas Tree by GlueDots

Christmas Paper Scrap Tree
Supplies:

Directions:
1. Roll a piece of green paper into a cone shape and secure it using Craft Glue Dots.
2. Use  a stash of paper leftovers. I recommend double sided paper on the tree.

3. Cut the paper strips to a 1″ thickness x 3″ width. Wrap the paper pieces around a pen or pencil to give them a nice curl.
4. Finally, using Craft Glue Dots stick each curled piece of paper to the tree. Start at the bottom and work around the base adding the curls and then move up the tree. Top the tree with a star pin by Maya Road.
