Scrapbook Paper Christmas Tree Video Tutorial
Here is a quick video so you can see exactly how I made them:
Directions: How to Make Scrapbook Paper Christmas Trees
Step 1: Gather Your Trees
I found these simple, cute trees at Michaels and removed the eye screws.
If you want to make your own trees, you can easily cut some out of plywood.
Step 2: A Little Paint
Paint the trees gray. One coat is enough. You just want to cover the raw wood.
Step 3: Select Christmas Scrapbook Paper
Look for some Christmas scrapbook paper. There are so many great designs available!
I found some great plaid and holly scrapbook paper. I went traditional colors, but you can go with silvers and blue too! Snowflakes are also a great option!
Step 4: Cut Around The Trees
Break out your craft knife and cut around the Christmas trees.
Step 5: Cut Off The Stem
Trim off the stem. You can leave it on, but I like the look of the gray wood for the stem.
Step 6: Glue It!
Use stick glue and put it all over the back of the cut outs. Get right up to the edges.
Step 7: Rub It!
Rub the paper down really well. Again, pay special attention to the edges.
Step 8: Tie A Bow
Use thin red ribbon to tie a small bow. Keep it simple!
Step 9: Attach A Base
Put hot glue on the base of the trees and stick them to the wood slices. This will make them a little more stable.
Step 10: Glue The Bow
Hot glue the bows to the tops of the scrapbook paper Christmas trees.
