Todays Christmas tutorial is my class I did for the Christmas workshop, over at Bad Girls.
I love these paper trees, they are so versatile.
Lets grab our supplies!

To assemble :
• First punch out 20 circles in various papers. Punch a hole in one of the circles for your wooden stick to go through.
• Score a triangle on all 20 circles and fold upwards
• With your glue stick , glue 5 circles together for the top and five circle for the bottom
• Next glue the remaining 10 circles to form a band.
• Glue top and bottom to the middle band
• Cut your dowelling to required size, remember your paper ball sits on top, • Now wrap your dowelling with ribbon, or paint. I left mine as is.
• Add the floral foam to your pot. Stick the doweling into the centre of the moss and using a glue gun secure in place.
• Add the moss to the top of your pot. I placed 2 flowers layered onto the top of the moss and made a hole in the centre for the doweling to go through.
• Now you can secure the paper ball to your dowelling using a glue gun.
• Now you can secure the paper ball to your dowelling using a glue gun.
• Finally tie ribbons around the bottom of the paper ball. I decorated my paper ball with some small brads in the centre of each section.
• Enjoy!
Change the size of your punch for a different size tree. I have made a mini tree using a 1” punch, and Fancy Pants Christmas papers which I will photograph and pop on my blog! Here is a tree I made for our Easter table this year.
