Somehow, recently, kraft paper has been used a lot in my projects. Perhaps it's with the winter air moving in and the snow flakes that were trying so hard to stick this afternoon that I find myself using it more. The edges were brushed with white ink and the corners rounded.
I used PTI top notch twill in Scarlet Jewel and Pinefeather adhered down with Scoretape. However, I think I need to get thicker Scoretape for this project. I was using the 1/8th inch size and it wasn't holding very well. I added some glue dots to make it more secure.
The 'O Christmas Tree sentiment from the Merry and Bright set was stamped at the bottom to make it look like the trunk of the tree.
And finally a little star was punched out and glittered to make it's way to the top of the ribbon tree!
Thanks for stopping by today. Leave me a comment - I always like to hear what you think! And I promise to be back more after the holiday season is over.

I LOVE your take on the MIM project. Beautiful! :)
Love your tree. I tried the same but smaller - no go. I like the fact that you didn't try to flatten your pleated ribbon. Just lovely.
What a cute idea! Love your tree of wrinkled ribbon.

What a clever idea to make a tree out of pleated ribbon. Cute star topper.
Thanks for the tip about using glu dots too. I used 1/4 inch score tape & some of my pleats were popping up.
