Want a quick little Christmas tree for a table decoration? You can make a tree by folding a magazine, leave unpainted or painted, sprinkle glitter if desired, add a ribbon and a star for a quick and fun decoration.

Step 1 Open magazine and on the second page, make a fold to center slightly away from the center.

Step 2 Fold again to center pressing crease firmly. It will look like a tie

Fold up like a tie

Step 3 Fold the tail up to the edge of the magazine
