Craft Your Own Geometric Christmas Tree


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.
