Use old scraps of book and cut squares descending in size. Use a thick piece of wire and stick down into a pot filled with stones or floral sponge. Start placing larger squares at bottom rotating the points of each page – these become your branch tips. Go as high as you want – it does take time Top with a star or ornament of your choosing. You could spray paint this to give a unique look but I like the raw book pages because it is rather rustic.
