- Drill
- ¼” Wood
- Dowel
- Knife
- Hot Glue
- Book(s)
- Xacto Knife
- Scissors
Instructions:
- First, we are going to make the base of the tree. What you’ll need is a wood base (this could be a wood candle stick or plaque from the craft store) and a ¼” wood inch dowel. In the middle of the wood base drill a ¼” hole (or however big your dowel is).
- Take a knife and whittle the end of the wood dowel into a point. This will make it easier to spear on the pages. On the un-whittled side, insert the dowel into the hole using a little bit of wood glue to keep it in place. Now you have your base!
- Get your book and slit down the page closest to spine to remove all pages. Cut your first set of pages into a square, so if its 6” inches wide cut it 6” inches length to create a square.
- Slide onto the dowel. Do that for a while until you have enough of one area done. Then cut pages ½” smaller and repeat above step. Do this until you reach the top.
*Optional: Top the tree with a star! I used a wooden star from the craft store.
