To make these use a cookie cutter and trace the design onto green (or whatever color) construction paper. Here is a pattern you can use – just print out and trace however many you need. (right click to save and enlarge to desired shape)

5345354What a unique design for a Christmas Tree made from dryer duct work. It is just rolled in circles on top of one another attached with hot glue and twist ties poked through ribs of the two layers hooking them together. Then wrap with lights. You could then attach ornaments if you desire but this idea is very cool all on its own. Would be a great decoration in a service shop that works on dryers and other appliances.

Cut the tips off of silver (or whatever color) spoons found in a dollar store. Glue with hot glue the cut spoon piece on a foam cylinder. As you go up stagger the spoons as seen in photos. You could top with a star or ornament of your choosing.

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.

Use tempura (finger) paint and glitter (for the tree branches and star). Thicker paper works well – poster board works great – just cut it down to size! Make one each year to compare hand sizes.
