Instructions

  1. Small 18930 10151299077483258 377460750 n

    Grab you book and using a knife or fingers (that's what i did - no idea where my craft knife is!)carefully peel off 30 pages. Make sure and keep the binding together, you don't want to peel each page off individually! Keep it in a clump!

  2. Small 262607 10151299078478258 428680947 n

    On you first page, make a fold by pulling the top right hand corner of the page and make it meet the edge of the binding.Give it a good rub to make a crease.

  3. Small 230213 10151299100343258 682548050 n

    now fold that piece over on itself again so the top right corner is now touching the binding

  4. Small 481023 10151299100918258 1209536384 n

    A tiny fold on the bottom to tuck in your overhang and now repeat these stages 30 times please!

    Voila, you have finished and now have a lovely Christmas tree. I may give my one a dusting of gold spray paint or leave it as it is. Either way it looks brilliant!
