Paper is one of the most versatile crafting materials. Transform pages from old books, maps, or scrapbook paper into festive foliage.

8. The Rolled Book Page Tree

Using pages from an old book or sheet music, cut strips of varying lengths and widths. Tightly roll each strip into a cone shape, securing the tip with glue. Glue these paper cones in concentric circles onto a foam cone, starting from the bottom. The textured, literary look is perfect for a cozy study.

9. The Paper Punch Tree

Punch hundreds of shapes from green cardstock or patterned paper—think stars, circles, flowers, or even simple circles. Using a foam cone and a toothpick for precision, attach each punched shape with a dab of glue, overlapping them like scales until the entire cone is covered.

10. The 3D Paper Garland Tree

Cut many identical leaf or teardrop shapes from green paper. Fold each shape in half lengthwise. Glue the folded shapes onto a string or a central cardboard tree cutout, aligning the folded crease with the string/cutout. Layer them densely to create a full, dimensional tree that can be hung on the wall.

11. The Quilled Paper Tree

This advanced paper craft involves rolling thin strips of paper (""quilling""). Create tight rolls, loose circles, teardrops, and marquise shapes from green and decorative paper strips. Assemble them on a flat card or canvas into the shape of a Christmas tree, building from the trunk up to the star.

12. The Corrugated Cardboard Tree

Draw and cut out several identical Christmas tree silhouettes from corrugated cardboard. Cut a slit from the bottom to the center on one piece and from the top to the center on another. Slot them together to form a freestanding 3D tree. Paint or leave raw for an industrial-chic look.

13. The Map or Atlas Tree

Follow the same technique as the rolled book page tree, but use pages from an old atlas or road map. The resulting tree will feature hints of blue oceans, green land, and road lines, creating a wonderful travel-themed decoration for the holiday season.

14. The Paper Doily Tree

Collect small paper doilies in white or cream. Gently shape them into loose cones or simply layer them flat. Stack and glue them onto a foam cone, allowing the intricate lace patterns to peek through. It creates an elegant, vintage-inspired piece.
