DIY Xmas Decoration: Book Tree

Today's post is an easy and FREE way to add some seasonal cheer to your home! 

**All you need is an old paperback book you don't want anymore or a used magazine


First, take off the cover of your book or magazine as well as the back. Break the binding and begin folding the first page top right to center.



Next, fold again bringing the entire page to the center. Fold up bottom flap so there is a clean bottom.



Continue folding the desired amount. I skipped some pages towards the end and tore out 10-15. Using all makes a fuller tree but it didn't make too much of a difference. 

The end result:



Display your tree(s) on a shelf, table or anywhere else you can think of. You can even string fabric or twine through it and hang tiny ones as garland!

Happy crafting!
