Avon Book Christmas Trees

[hpygrll]

I need your help - I thought I saw a thread the other day about making a Christmas tree out of a Readers Digest and I can't find it - I used to do this with Avon books and for the life of me can't remember how....

Any help?

Thanks!!!
Jenny

I think the directions for the RD one is on thier site. Can you just use those directions? I have to say I never saw it done with an Avon book. I would be interested to see the directions there is an Avon catalog on the kitchen table I could turn into a tree with the kids.

I agree! These instructions are neat! http://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=19258 Maybe you could post a pic when you get done....?

What a great idea! Perfect for me & DD6 to do!

I folded my first one last night....just to see how long it took! It took my about 35 minutes to get through one REader's Digest. My 3rd graders have collected RD's and we're going to do this together as a little Christmas project. I'm not sure if there's a "special" green spray paint we have to get... I'd also like to know if there's such a thing as spray on glitter. Anyone?

That is a great idea!!! I wanna try it when I get a chance! It seems really easy, too.

Seems like I have seen some but I don't remember where. Must be a crafting section of Walmart or at Joann's?? If you can't find some, maybe just a spray selac type would work out....?
