Curly Paper Christmas Trees

This year, the Stamp club term ended in November.  Instead of starting a new term in December, I decided to wait until January.  But knowing that most of the gals (and I) would still want to get together and stamp if possible - we kept our usual "2nd Thursday" date and had a Christmas Party instead (with stamping, of course).
We made a snowflake tag/tie-on for hanging on a package that was so stinkin' cute, mine got used on an actual package (correction - all 3 of mine got used).  So no photo here - sorry.

The second project was a Curly Paper Christmas Tree.

I completely copied the idea - you can see the post from  Patty Bennett including directions and all the details.

My trio of trees here:

I bought the green styrofoam trees at Hobby Lobby (in floral section) as they were cheaper than JoAnn's. (didn't try Michaels).  I found that the largest tree (nearly 18" tall) would have been TOO tall and taken a TON of paper.  So in my trio of trees, the tallest one is the 8" size and then they go down from there.

I used store-bought ornaments for the topper, which just got shoved into the styrofoam after a little well was made and some hot glue dribbled down into it.  These were SUPER fun to make and took nearly NO brain-power.  (It was nice to sit in front of Christmas movies on LMN and work on my trees!!)

The gals at Stamp Club were thinking these curly paper trees are not just for Christmas, and could be made with any desired DSP for other occasions!  I've also seen posts of Curly Paper Wreaths, and Curly Paper Topiary.  Lots of fun ideas with just paper, foam and pins!!
