Simple Folded Christmas Trees
Make these little paper trees in just minutes… instant Christmas decorating! Could crafting get any simpler? These little paper trees have quickly become our favorite easy Christmas craft idea – now we have them decorating the whole house.
Who knew such a quick and easy idea would be such a big hit? They take less than 5 minutes to make, too. Oh, and they are practically free. Sweet.
These trees can be tucked along a mantel, in windows, in nooks, on end tables, as part of your holiday table… I even thought they’d make cute gift tags.
Somehow they manage to look vintage and modern at the same time. My favorite mix!
Simply fold a piece of scrapbook paper in half, pattern side in. Freehand a simple tree shape along the fold, so when you cut you’ll have a whole tree.
Cut out the shape. Do this using other pieces of folded paper until you have 4 whole tree shapes.
Apply glue to one side of the back of one tree. Glue one side of the back of another tree to it. Continue on until you have all four trees glued back to back, creating a 3-D tree.
Continue on until you have all four trees glued back to back, creating a 3-D tree. Trim off any excess paper that peeks out and you are done!
Easy decorating, using what you already have– right up my alley!

Wow! I love these! I make hand-made books, and always have a ton of leftover paper "bits" that aren't big enough for books, but too pretty to throw away. I have visions of a forest of tiny trees all over the house this year! Thanks for a cute and easy idea.
