I had seen online at their Holiday Craft Sale, and they were selling them between $10 to $30 per tree.
Let's get started!
Get an old magazine, I believe this is Glamour. Bend the binding back and forth so it won't be so stiff. Then taking one page at a time, fold the top right corner down like so:
Then fold the page down again like so:
and you will get something like this:
At the bottom of the "tree", fold the tip up:
And tuck it inside the flap:
Make sure it's flush and straight:
And done!
To glam it up, I used spray paint and glitter:
Martha Stewart glitter in Smoky Quartz
Modern Metals in Lumina Gold (which I do not recommend and will tell you below)
Krylon in Chrome
Krylon Spray Glue
A makeshift spray booth with a cardboard box and a lazy susan I wrapped with paper:
The reason why I got the Modern Metal Lumina Gold was because Michael's ran out of the Kyrlon, which I do recommend. Modern Metal did not cover as well as Krylon, especially at the bottom of the tree, even after 2 or 3 coats.
Then I gave it a coat of spray glue, and sprinkled on the glitter:
But the top looks nice:
The Chrome tree:
Good luck!
