What a great way of recycling old magazines and they look so good too

This is a wonderful activity and our residents have been enjoying the craft and decorating. They will be used as centre pieces on our Christmas tables :)
I folded 3 trees last night whilst watching TV and even without decorations, my colleagues are gathering at my desk saying what a brilliant idea. They even want to have a craft afternoon at our next Staff Meeting and that was from our Co-ordinator who does not enjoy craft at all!! Thank You :)

We glued tinsel and glitter on as well...the Women's Weekly (Australian) is thick and easy to use as well. This is an age old idea and well worth trying. Thanks for posting this.
these trees turn out lovely as well if you glue tinsel on them and a few small ornaments if you also put some scratchies on them they make a great gift for that person who has everything already
Im not very good at craft, but i tried these and love them so easy to make, i got the residents to fold the magazines then i sprayed them and put glitter on, they turned out lovely :-)
thanks, these trees were great! we used these for all ages from school children to our aged people of our community to make them for our clients to be as a centre peice for the table at their christmas party, we also made some more that wentthanks so much look forward to anymore ideas of this value to make for their contribution to the festive season they certainly have been a large talking point in our groups so once again thank you for the ideas from cheryl RAO
I just wanted to tell you that this addition of "This day in History" is phenomenal!!!! I've been looking for something like this, and to have it all done, makes my job so much easier! I love your website and my seniors enjoy all of the great activities! THANK YOU!!
