Spent some time yesterday browsing pinterest. There are many, many delightful and inspiring photos there for all kinds of things. Here are a few.

First one is for a mantel arrangement when your home has no mantel. Seems to me we get asked about this sometimes on this site

Clever idea for a dining room at Christmas

Another Christmas picture (this one with burlap "roping")

book pages folded into Christmas trees. (this would be cute for a simple tree decoration)

Oh those little book page trees are cute. How would you cut and fold for the shape???

Nice inspirational photos!
I found this one this AM for those who repurpose items.

Looks to me like it is a "D" shape. first fold to the left, then to the right and last to the left.

It would be easy to fool around with this with a piece of newspaper. In fact currently our comic pages are such sturdy paper they would be great used. I'll try this later and post my results.

Nice inspiration pictures, Lady of Shallot. I have a friend who makes napkins in that Christmas tree fold pattern. There are some how-to-videos on YouTube.

That's what I thought too. I have a couple of scraps I could try, but am going to work on a cork wreath this afternoon - those materials are already out...

This link shows how to make the folded Christmas trees - it's made from half of a circle shape:

So much inspiration available, I find I'm almost on overload altho can't stop looking! LOL
