DIY  CHRISTMAS TREE FOLDED BOOK ART

Let me show you the easy step-by-step instructions so you can make your own book Christmas tree.

SUPPLIES FOR BOOK CHRISTMAS TREES

– Used Paperback or Hardcover Book – 300 pages is recommended – Cordless Hot Glue Gun – Craft Knife – Gold Glitter – Mod Podge

STEP 1. FOLD THE BOOK PAGE

You want to start in the middle of the book. For a 300 page book, start at page 100. Simply fold the upper right corner of the book page about 1/4" down to meet the center.

STEP 2. FOLD THE PAGE AGAIN

Fold the page again to meet the center of the book. Press to crease the fold.

STEP 3. FOLD THE TRIANGLE PIECE

You will be left with a small triangle piece at the bottom of the page. Fold this under so the book page is flat at the bottom.

STEP 4. REPEAT WITH REMAINING PAGES

For the 300 page book you will have 100 unfolded pages in the front, 100 folded pages in the middle and 100 unfolded pages at the end. So continue to repeat these same 3 folds for the remaining 99 pages.

Congratulations! You completed your first folded book art!

STEP 5. DECORATE AS DESIRED

You can leave the Christmas tree plain or decorate it with glitter or fake snow. I used mod podge and glitter.

STEP 6. DECOUPAGE THE FRONT & BACK COVERS

For the hardcover book I decorated the inside covers with a printable Christmas image with a red cardinal. You can download the image for free on my blog with the link below.

It is up to you how detailed you want to get. I do recommend adding a tree topper. Mine is a star cut from glitter card stock.

Decorate with your beautiful book Christmas Trees!
