Today, I'm going to show you how to take those regular trees (left)and make them DELUXE! (right).
**It should be noted here that in my country "deluxe" is a synonym for "has Glitter on it."
Beginning at Step 4 from yesterday's project with the catalog completely folded into standard tree form-
Next begin folding the bottom corners of each page up toward the spine of the catalog.
**Fold in about 2 inches, leaving enough space at the bottom of the catalog for the tree to form a base to stand on.**
Continue folding each page until you have something resembling this:
And finally, get out your Glitterin' kit:
- mod podge (or Elmer's glue)
- Glitter (Random Disco or otherwise)
- a paintbrush
Put a thin layer of glue on the top of your tree.
Dump a mess of Glitter on there,
shake off the extra aaaaaand....
...you're done!
Now all you have to do is find the perfect place to display your creation. Mine made a brief appearance on this shelf before settling in as the table centerpiece. 
Beautiful. And more importantly easy!
***Sister thought it was important to mention here that you can also paint your trees. Spray paint would be your best option but if you have a catalog tree made from non-shiney paper like the one below, a simple tempera paint would work just fine.***
Happy Crafting!
