Make a Magazine Christmas Tree
Did you know that your magazines can enhance Christmas Spirit? Here's a really easy way to recycle them into a beautiful Christmas tree.
Steps
- Gather one large magazine (100 pages or up) or two small magazines (50 pages or less) and cut the front and back covers off.
- If you're using 2 magazines, tape the first pages together, combining them. If not, fold the corner of the first page in to meet the center.
- Fold the triangle you just made in half.
- Fold the bottom part.
- And tuck it inside.You should have a triangle now.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all the other pages. Tape the first and last pages together.
- Spray paint your magazine. Glittery colors work best, but you can make it more natural looking with camouflage paint.
- If you want a star at the top of your tree, draw a star shape on one of the covers, cut it out, and trace and cut it again on the second cover.
- Tape the star shapes onto the tree and tape both tops together.
- Put the ribbons around the tree.
- Enjoy your tree!
