Sneak Peek - Oh Paper Christmas Tree

Sorry I have been away posting for the summer - it was very busy here on the Coast.

For September I have put all my efforts designing a vintage paper tree. It took a number of tries to come up with a concept that is relatively easy to reproduce with text weight paper. As you can see I used my community newspaper as the paper source and used a very simple technique - accordion folds. The tree stands about 32 inches high.



It looks great sitting on a table or a counter and would be suitable for a small storefront window display for the upcoming holiday season. Since this is a model and not the final product I'll be posting info on paper and embellishment ideas for this project over the next few weeks.

I also came up with a modern version of the tree which I'll share with you in November.
