You Will Need (4 things)

  • Cardboard
  • Scallops
  • Glue
  • Skewers

Steps (7 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut a cardboard base slightly smaller than your largest scallop.

  2. 2

    Poke a kebab skewer through the center of the base, and secure with glue.

  3. 3

    Cut 3 of each size of scallop in coordinating scrapbook paper (use a heavier weight paper).

  4. 4

    Put a small hole in the center of each scallop.

  5. 5

    Put a dab of glue on the hole before you load them onto your skewer from largest to smallest one at a time- leave a small space between each one.

  6. 6

    Once you reach the top, use stars from the basic cupcake liner collection glued back to back to cover the tip of the skewer.

  7. 7

    To make larger or smaller trees, just cut more or less scallops. I also inked the edges of my scallops.

    The finished product!
