Fir Tree from Colored Paper Strips

I ran across this fir tree project and couldn’t wait to share it. Honestly, doesn’t the finished trees look like something you could buy at an expensive boutique? I did!

You won’t believe how easy they are to make. The base of the trees were cut from corrugated cardboard and they are covered by gluing strips of paper to them. The directions can be a bit confusing because it refers to the strips as ribbons, but don’t let that put you off. Of course, if you wanted to use ribbon you certainly can! You can even decorate them for Christmas if you like.
