1. This year all of the sudden I realized that if I glued two of these little orgami Christmas Trees together it would make a stand alone little tree.
2. Hey, I know that 42,000 other stampers have probably done this but I am usually found with my head under a rock in my Polka Dotted Stamping Room!
3. I thought these would be cute as Christmas Dinner Name Tag Place Card thingys too! This Basic Gray Wassail Designer Paper has really cool small patterns in the 6X6 packet that works really well for these trees.
See my blog for a tutorial on how to make these little orgami trees.

I love your trees, especially the cool paper. A friend of mine and I were thinking the same thing and I made an ornament out of the trees with a hole punched in the star on top. It's great to see all the different ideas that people on SCS have. TFS!

Oh my goodness, Gertie! Look at you go being all so clever and creative with these beautiful trees! You must have the patience of a saint to do all that paper folding. Excellent idea to use these for table place cards.
