While cleaning out a drawer, I found an old Webster’s Dictionary and went to toss it – and then grabbed it back out of the trash. I decided it could become a Christmas tree! After Googling around a bit, I came upon this tutorial and gave it a try – and here it is!
I added the chunky Champagne glitter to the edges using Tombow Purpose Glue. Because I was afraid I’d run out of the glitter, I also mixed in some clear. (I would not have run out – but I do like the look)
To finish my tree I glued it on a wooden spool that was wrapped with Champagne Glimmer paper and tied an organdy bow. On the top I hot glued a small ornament. I can’t wait to make more! Hugs, Fran
What a pretty tree! Love the idea. Thanks for sharing. I think the chunky glitter is just perfect!
Wow! This is upcycling at its finest! Love it.
Love your tree; I’m going to check out the link. Thanks for sharing.
I love your finished tree!! I’ve been thinking about adding glitter, etc. to some that I do this year, too. Glad you found the tutorial helpful. Thanks for sharing the link!! 🙂
This is a beautiful Christmas tree, I am going to my bookcase to find an old book, no longer wanted, and make it into a beautiful tree, thanks for sharing!!!!
Great job! Love your version of this tree.
This is beautiful! I remember making similar trees out of TV Guides when I was kid:-)
