Hello my friends! Today’s DIY is super easy and a fun craft to do with the kids.  Since my Christmas decor is simple and a little on the modern side, I wanted to make tall, slender paper trees for my bookcase.

Folks, all you need is card stock and wine corks.  Tools: ruler, pencil, scissors, knife, and glue.

How to assemble:

Measure and trace out a triangle (I started with 8 inches tall and 3 inches wide and then varied it for my other trees.)

Cut out two triangles (My nifty little craft scissors per my husband’s suggestion were used.)

Cut a slit half way up the middle of one, and half way down the middle of the second. Slide the two triangles together to form an X.

Use a serrated knife and cut an X in a wine cork about 3/4 of an inch deep.

Slide your tree into the cork, glue the tips at the top so that they stay in place.

voilà! 

I think I need more!! =)

The great thing about this project is that you can use pretty craft paper or have the kids decorate the trees. You can be as creative as you want!

Have a great day,
