I posted this link originally in December but so worth posting again - here is the Original Crepe Paper Tree Tutorial!
I used a 12" paper mache cone for the base. Ruffled the crepe paper on my sewing machine with the baste and pull method. I made it easy on myself and used double sided tape to hold the ruffles. Note: on another version I will put the ruffles closer together for a fluffier look. The edges are "trimmed" with Platinum Stickles, I went over these a couple of times to build up a nice layer. Some bits of flowers including teeny gold ones in the background, several colours of pink DewDrops, milnery bits, fussy cut black stamped fairies. I've gone back and added teeny gold butterflys since taking the picture. A good spraying of Pearl Glimmer Mist over everthing! This just invites adding more and more!
