Simple Circle Punch Tree




This is a quick scrappy project if you're pressed for time.  You will need:  a 13.5" tall paper mache cone (this one is from Michael's), a 2 inch circle punch or die cutting machine that cuts circles, 6 or 7  12" x 12"papers of your choice, glue, and a 5" flower pot (you can paint it if you want).

 The hardest part of this project is choosing the paper.  My house has a lot of black and I like to decorate at Christmas with gold and red.   The cone fits sunggly on top of the flower pot.  You could glue it for stability but I didn't need to.

What other things could be glued to a paper mache cone to make a tree? Do you remember my macaroni tree from last year?
