Martha Magazine Trees

I came across this easy to do project on Martha Stewart and decided to give it a try - I had magazines and spray paint, so all I needed was alittle glitter! I will spare the details as Martha does a much better job. It took about 45 minutes to fold the tree, but easy to do watching the TV!

Here is the link and details!

Magazine Trees How-To
1. Open magazine and bend to break spine.

2. Fold individual page from top right corner to inside seam. Fold same page from bottom right edge to gutter.

3. Fold bottom triangle of each additional magazine page up, making the bottom of the tree flat. Then, fold top of all pages down to form tree shape.

4. Spray-paint folded tree desired color. Immediately sprinkle glitter over wet paint. Let dry.
