Paper Trees for the holiday and beyond

Today I had a workshop at www. ruthstable.org where I am the Artist in Residence. We made tiny paper trees. All you need for these trees are skewers from the $ store and some old corks and your choice of paper.  I took a nail a little smaller than the skewer and drove a little hole in the cork. Push the non pointed end into the cork. The pointed end on top allows the paper to easily push down the skewer.

Tree number 1--- made from a thin paper bag, cut with shredder scissors
Tree number 2---punched round circles from music sheets with different size punches. You could hand cut the circles as well with scallop scissors.
Tree number 3---made from a Asian newspaper. Fold long strip of paper in half, cut on fold but not all the way through. Glue spirals around the tree from bottom to top.
Tree 4 & 5 are made from discarded books. I chose different books to get different colors of pages. Cut squares in various sizes so your tree will taper.


Leave a comment if you need more details. I may take photos of the steps and post later. It was really fun to make. You can make a tiny forest of trees!

  1. These are cute, and since my husband's a wino, I always have a drawer full of corks. Think I'll try one with old vintage papers. Thanks!

  3. When you know you can't let that confidential information fall into the hands of any stranger that will possibly get you into trouble, your best option is to shred them to pieces. What better way to do that than to let a machine like a paper shredder handle your shredding needs. Best Paper Shredder

  23. https://www.visualaidscentre.com/lasik-surgery-in-noida/ A cataract in its early stages is very hard to detect. It might be easy to mistake the symptoms of a cataract for an unrelated vision problem. It's no surprise, then, that some patients can mistakenly choose to have LASIK surgery to treat the symptoms of the cataract instead of having surgery to treat the cataract itself.
