Pili, I love this Christmas tree made from a magazine!! It’s a great idea!! Thank you for sharing the how-to on making them!!
It is cute, isn’t it? Great to do while listening to music or watching TV, or everyone making its own and chatting meanwhile.
So cool! I would never guess that this tree was made from an old directory. Very clever idea.
Yes, it’s cool! With different sizes of magazines you can make a cute composition.
I love your DIY Christmas tree idea! And I definitely plan on giving it a try. I just started following your blog! Smiles, Linda at Paper Seedlings
Hi, Linda! You’re so good with paper I’m sure it will look lovely! I would love to see it, by the way!
Thanks for stopping by!
O my goodness this is so cute! And attainable for those of us who are less crafty.
Thanks for sharing,
Christine
My pleasure Christine! Thanks for stopping by
Hi Pili, I just love this tree, I just made 2 of these myself yesterday, I was thinking of painting mine white and wrap a bit of gold ribbon loosely round them and add a star.
Thanks for sharing on http://ohmyheartsiegirl.com/heartsie-girls-wordless-wednesday-44/
Happy Holidays!

Looks so cute and easy to make!
Thanks!! It’s easy to do, a bit time consuming though.
Oh what a nice way to use your yellow pages, lol! It’s so clever and I love how this little tree turned out! I have a bunch of old magazines lying around! A must try! Thanks Pili!!!
Now you know, Katrin!! Get rid of those old useless yellow pages and magazines.
That’s so simple & clever & it looks really lovely! Going to be making all my old magazines into Christmas trees! Not sure if OH will see that as an improvement – he hates my old magazine collection, but also thinks I have too many Christmas decorations… #WAYWOW
Haha, hard decision! You can always tell the trees are to give away as gifts.
Thanks for stopping by!
How awesome!! I love this transformation, because you’d never guess what it looked like originally. 🙂 Thanks for linking up at Snickerdoodle Sunday!!
Glad you like it too! It’s a good way to declutter our homes.
Thanks for visiting, Sadie
Hello Pili,
I love your cute Christmas tree! My mom used to make these when we were little and then spray paint them gold! It’s a great way to use up magazines!
Thanks for sharing this at Cooking and Crafting with J&J.
Enjoy the weekend.

They look awesome in gold, I made several some years ago. I discovered the how to about 5 years ago, I would have never thought they were older than that.
Thank you so much for stopping by, Julie!
I love this!!! Who doesn’t have a magazine laying around! I love how the color shows a bit on the edges, the pattern created would be different for each magazine and each tree. You amaze me with your creativity!! Merry Christmas!
That’s true Nikki, two different magazines result into two different trees. Even if one magazine is thicker than the other it completely changes its look.
I keep all the thick magazines for Christmas, recycle while decorate on a budget.
Your tree looks great! I made one last year from an old book that I love. I like the pops of color the magazine pages give to it.
That’s clever, Beverly. I’m sure the look of one made out of a book is awesome, it will have a more cohesive look.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow this is so creative! I love how simple it looks to make and so effective – you could make a fab feature piece with a couple. Seeing things like this always makes me think I should craft more! Visiting from #WAYWOW x
Many thanks, Natalie. I’m sure you could make some of these, my daughters make some so no skills required.
Just a heads up – your adorable tree craft is my feature pick this week at Merry Monday! Hope you will come share with us again!
What a wonderful surprise, Megan!! Thank you so much for the feature and for letting me know!
Welcome to my crazy corner 😉
It looks fantastic indeed..love the glittery one 🙂
Many thanks, Indah! You can add as many details as you want, they will look cute anyway!
Very creative and great way to recycle and decorate 🙂
Congratulations, you are being featured in this week’s
Snickerdoodle Mini Round Up!
Have an awesome day!
Joanita
Thank you very much for the feature and for letting me know, Joanita! I really appreciate it!
Pili,
Thanks for sharing this fun project at Inspire Me Monday at Create With Joy – I’m delighted to include you among our Featured Guests at this week’s party (#205)!
Hope you are having a blessed Christmas season! 🙂
Thank you so much!! I’m honored to be among your features!
Happy Holidays! 🙂
OH wow…I would have never thought to do this! How fun!
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
It’s really fun indeed, Jess. Thanks for visiting!
I can’t believe I didn’t see this earlier. It is just adorable. It is and course time consuming but the end result is spectacular!! A perfect ornament.
It is time-consuming indeed Mary, but as you say the result is spectacular! No need to spend any money on Christmas decoration!
My friends taught me to make one of these last year, we used old library books, the beat up ones that they sell off for next to nothing. We stuck little bows and buttons on ours and I was super happy that is came out of the box undamaged this year. The are really quite sturdy considering. I love yours with the sparkly jewel star – very classy!
I had to throw away one this year after taking it out of the box, that’s why we decided to make more. Adding bows and buttons is a great idea, Julie
Thank you for visiting!
I have a stack of magazines I was about to recycle, but I feel a forest of Christmas trees coming on now 🙂 Thanks for sharing #frifree4all
I would love to see that forest, Hayley! You’ll never throw a magazine from now on!
Hi Pili,
I have seen these trees before but never thought about how to actually go about making them. Thanks for the tutorial! This would be a great craft for the kids to participate in. Thanks for partying with us at Talented Tuesday Pili!
Cheers,
AJ
Hi, AJ! Yes, it is a fun craft for kids but I would choose a magazine with less pages or they get bored about folding over and over (I get bored too) although it looks nicer at the end.
Enjoy your weekend!
Aren’t these too cute! My mother made them years ago. I was wantin’ to make one this year and haven’t gotten around to it! You’ve inspired.
Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much, Sherry. I didn’t know many kids made them at school, even your mother made some! I thought Martha Steward created them, I’m so naive…
Pili, just saw these selling for a ridiculous price! So much nicer to make your own. Thanks for sharing at Five Star Frou-Frou. Mimi xxx
Really?? I think I have to keep that in mind for next Christmas lol
Enjoy your weekend!
The universe must be on my side, they just delivered a our telephone directory this morning and I was going to throw it out. Not any more Pili, I’m making one of these. Awesome tut, thank you so much
Yay! I still need to find a way to put them away to be used every year because they end up smashed. But anyway for the cost is worth to do it
I like that this is an easy Christmas craft to do with kids and like you say, the possibilities for decorating the book tree are endless!
