Scrappy Christmas Tree

 I have tons of adorable Christmas sparkly scrapbook paper.  The stuff makes me giddy! I was walking down the aisles of the dollar store the other day while looking for some stuff for a party I was throwing when I saw these floral Styrofoam beauties.  That's when inspiration hit.  I couldn't resist another paper project.  These were perfect for making into trees.  One down... one to go!

 First, I cut out one corner of a 12x12 paper and bent it into a cone shape (I eyeballed it).

Then, with the remainder of the paper, I cut out a bunch of one inch strips.

Then I curled each strip around a pencil to give it some dimension.

 Then I cut each strip into one inch squares.  I free handed this part so my squares were a bit mismatched.  I figure it only gave my tree character... just like the rest of my house =).  Then, I just started gluing it to the Styrofoam starting from the bottom.  I added my tree top when I got near the top and then added a few more squares to make it blend a bit better.

And, again, here is the finished product!  My little scrappy Christmas tree.
