I came across an idea for this little magazine tree and I pinned it for future reference. I used to make these as a kid - probably in Brownies.
The best magazine for it is a Reader's Digest and even though I know it's borderline sacrilegious to destroy one, I forged on...
I used a clip to hold the pages together that I had already folded.
(Go here for a real tutorial.)
As you can see, I was at the breakfast table. Scout was watching me, eating his cereal. You never know when creativity will strike...I think it took me about 30-45 minutes.
Halfway there! Time for Scout to catch the bus... 
I really love my little magazine tree. After Christmas it might go live in the bookcase.
For now it sits on the mantle with the little trees I am collecting...
a recycled thing of beauty, no?
