Ok! Lemme tell you how much you will go to the ends of the earth to find EVERY magazine available to you! I thought this craft would {{totally}} be very boring and not that much fun to do. It’s not that I EVER really think a craft is boring it’s just sometimes when you have too much repetition it gets um… BORING…I know I don’t make ANY sense at all right now but it’s almost 1 am and I am just catching up on my blog…(story of my life)
Like David Frost once said, But don’t aim for success if you want it; do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
Let’s get to crafting before I fall asleep AGAIN on my computer! (imagine that)
Tools and Materials
Old magazines of any size
Spray Adhesive
Glitter in desired colors
Bone folder (optional)
Grab any magazine you want. If you use a big magazine it will make a big tree. I like doing a little bit of both! Open a magazine and bend to break the spine
Fold individual page from top right corner to inside seam. I know, this is not the top right corner but I just took the wrong picture
This is what it should look like when you are done with the whole book
Fold same page from bottom right edge to gutter
You will have a little “nub” on the bottom
You will need to tuck it in and make the bottom flat
This is what it should look like after you are done with that step
Spray adhesive spry all over the tree
Sprinkle with glitter of your choice! Glitter is available on shop.marthastewart.com.
Seriously. Is this not AMAZING! I know I am COMPULSIVE but gosh darn nit…I want to make a huge amount of these! Just think about it, you could give them as a present for Christmas. I know I would LOVE if someone gave me this. Enjoy Jaderbugs Sending you trees to put on top of your trees, your jaderbomb
