Fur-tree-five-minute
To make a petite herringbone, we only need one magazine, glue, a stapler and five minutes! So, more on how to add a Christmas tree from magazines.
Put a magazine in front of you, take the cover page for the upper right corner and bend to the fly-mouth (end), then again in half, and turn the remaining corner under the page. Secure the folded cover page with the stapler. Then turn it over and do the same with the second page, but the stapler is no longer needed. It's enough to smooth the folds properly, so that the tree does not turn out too "chubby". In the same way, bend the remaining pages, and when all are ready, the last one is glued together with the first one. Cute Christmas tree ready! You can leave it in the same form, and if you have a paint in the form of a spray, decorate the herringbone to your liking.

When size matters
You read a lot, but you do not have magazines to go anywhere? Then this article from the magazine in the form of a huge Christmas tree - what you need! We need a few dozen magazines, wooden sticks, glue, wire, drill.
Divide the pages of each magazine into six equal parts and bend the sheets inside, first gluing their tips with glue. Plant the resulting details on 45-50 cm wooden sticks. Secure them with a thick wire to the trunk-base with drill holes. For reliability, fasten all the branches together with a thin wire. Decorate a Christmas tree from magazines can be both a garland, and small in weight toys. But even in its original form, this beauty looks great, because the pages of glossy magazines are poured with all colors.

Creative Christmas tree
To implement this idea will also require a lot of magazines, but the trick is worth it. In addition to magazines, stock up with a wooden stand, wooden rod, glue and reliable large scissors.
To begin with, we install a wooden rod on a wooden stand, drill a hole in it.

Then determine how many magazines we need. To do this, we bring the stack to the rod. It is necessary that a stack of logs be placed on the height from the base of the stem-trunk and to its end (leave 3-4 centimeters for decorating the top of the tree). Then divide the logs into 4-6 piles. We do not touch the first one, we cut the magazines in the second stack by 5 centimeters, in the third one - by 10, in the fourth by 15 and so on. As a result, we should have different size magazines. Put them on the rod, starting with the large ones. Corner logs should not coincide. You will get such an unusual Christmas tree.

It would be possible to finish on this, but we have glue and glitter in stock, so let's start decorating our creative tree. Gently apply glue spray on the tree (you can take and the usual, but with it the process will take a long time). Do not wait until the glue dries, and immediately sprinkle all the paper sapling with multicolored sparkles. It is better to mix them beforehand so that the colors fall evenly. Now we are waiting for the glue to dry completely. Then gently blow off the remnants of sequins and enjoy the result!
