Inspiration Paper Tree - Light Bulb Alert

Amuse Studio

So I found this paper tree over at Amuse Studio a few months ago and really thought it was very pretty. But as you may know I really like to make things my own.

So I set out to make quite a large display tree (32" without a base) for a small shop front out of newsprint and a tomato cage based on the accordion fold but less rigid looking.









Here's my first attempt using my community newspaper:

Hive on the Drive

So I've been staring at this project model for at least 3 weeks.

It was only today going back to my inspiration the light bulb went off! Why not combine the rigid medallion with the relaxed half medallions and add some contrast paper similar to the inspiration.

BTW the wind came up just when I took the shot so the tree looks a bit odd but it is quite pretty just the way it is. I will post the relaxed medallion tree DIY instructions next week post Halloween. All you need is a tomato cage, newspaper, 8 pipecleaners, scissors, a stapler and paper clips.
