Table Top Mini Christmas Tree - paper tree A tissue core can amazingly be made into different things. Now, that the "-ber" months have started, as part of our family tradition, we have also started decorating our homes for the holiday season. This season's theme may involve a lot of paper rolls and tissue core crafts. Here's one.

Supplies:

1 tissue paper core
3 pieces green colored paper
1 piece brown colored paper
tinsel foils (any color of your choice)
shaping punchers (if available) - optional
1 small piece of cardboard paper cut into a shape of a star
scissors
glue

Steps:

Cover mini cardboard star with any colored tinsel foil you like. Set aside.
