If your like me and live in a small 1/1 apartment, a full size christmas tree can be a little overwhelming. However, I still wanted to get in the holiday spirit so crafting my very own Xmas tree just seemed like the perfect solution. I started by hand drawing 2 tree profiles on black foam core. My next step was to glue neutral tone magazine clipings (black, white, grey) to the tree profile. I overlapped over the outline a little to ensure no black was exposed. For the leaves I glued down a patch of monotone red clippings and a patch of monotone green clipppings which I then cut leaves from. I then cut one of the tree profiles in half and glued them to the other tree profile. I then cut out H shaped connector pieces to attach the leaves to the branches.

I have seen something similiar at anthropology, but they wanted 40 bucks for it. This is a much more affordable approach.
I would like to make one of these for a bridal shower where guest could write there advice on the individual leaves. It would be easy to customize this to the brides chosen colors for the wedding.
