Here is a fun little Christmas Tree that can hold some special treats or goodies or it can just sit on the table looking pretty.
SUPPLIES:
Card Stock & Paper: Garden Green
Red Glimmer Paper
Silver Glimmer Paper
Punches: Eyelet Border Punch page 211 #119853
Itty Bitty Circle page 210 #118309
Star (Retired-try the Clearance Rack)

Big Shot: Petal Cone die page 221 #121810
Here is a Pattern for those of you not lucky enough to have a Petal Cone die. Click Box #37 triangle_box_4 to get to it.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut 2 Petal Cone pieces. Adhere together with Sticky Strip.
2. Cut 5-6 1″ x 11″ Garden Green strips. Punch one side with the Eyelet Border punch. Sponge punched edge.
3. Use Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere punched strips as follows:
Fold Petal Cone flat. Put glue about 1/2″ from the bottom of one side. Align bottom of Petal Cone box and punched strip edge. Trim the overhanging part of the strip along the angled side (the side where there is no Petal Cone die underneath). Fold box so the other overhanging strip is easy to trim and trim. Repeat 3 more times along bottom edge. (If you have any questions, please email me. I am going to have to get brave enough to do videos!)
4. Decide how high you want your next level. Put on glue, place strip, trim both sides.
5. Continue this process until you reach the top. It is a little tedious, but is a nice project to do while watching TV or a movie.
6. With the “Tree” now finished you can decorate it. Punch 7-9 Itty Bitty Red Glimmer paper circles for each side. Adhere with Mini Glue Dots or Tombow Glue.
7. For the finishing touch, punch a star from Silver Glimmer paper and adhere to the top front side.
8. Enjoy!
Happy Punching!
