Paper christmas tree decoration

Christmas_tree_7

Here it is the last tree in the forest. For this tree I used the same size scraps of paper as for tree #1. The strips are 1/2" x 6" long. Instead of folding these I curled them around a pencil and then placed them on my tree. For each strip I used 2 pins - the first one was a flat head at the top of the strip and the second one was a pearlized head which I placed about one inch down the strip, so that I could ensure that you would be able to see the printed paper and not just the curls. So now it is time to decide -
