recycled paper christmas trees

i was bored one sunday, and wanted some christmas decorations for our apartment, but everything was closed, so i dug up what i could find... 

these are the supplies. 

cereal box, tape, stapler and the awesome green striped printer paper i found at my school.

cut the cereal box into a semi-circle shape. trace a plate or freeform - it works.

the larger the circle, the taller the tree.

roll & staple the cardboard to make a cone shape.  the rounded part of the semi-circle will be the base.

cut many leaf shapes from the paper. mine average about 1.5 inches long and i used 2 pages of paper.

tape the leaves onto the cone in layers.

continue until you've covered the tree, and voila!
