Happy (whatever day it is) Jaderbugs! I am in love with using paper this holiday season. I hope you love this craft as much as I do! This shimmering stacked tree will add a festive — and eco-friendly — touch to your home this holiday season. These magnificent trees can also be stacked using any leftover aluminum foil, felt, or crepe paper. {I used an old magazine)
I used a piece of wood, skewer, scissors, spray adhesive and glitter. Yep, that’s it!
Grab some magazines and cut out:
-6 by 6 inches
-5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches
-5 by 5 inches
-4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches
-4 by 4 inches
-3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches
-3 by 3 inches
-2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches
-2 by 2 inches
-1 1/2 by 1/2 inch
Get a skewer or whatever you want to stick the paper on.
I drilled a hold into my wood so it woud be sturdy.
After I cut all of my pieces out I folded them into fours so I can see where my center is.
Then start sliding them onto the wood!
When you are done it should start to look like this!
I used adhesive spray, and glitter.
After you finish stacking spray a good amount of adhesive spray onto the tree.
I really just had fun with this sucker! I wanted it to look like a cotton candy Christmas tree…
And it does!!! It looks prettier in person I tell ya! Remember the magazine tree I did here? I hope you have fun doing this!
Going pick up glitter in my studio, jaderbomb
