victorian tree decorations in card

[croft farm]

I know its a bit near Christmas but I was asked if there are any Victorian tree decorations that a seven year cut out and maybe colour in, any where?

Here's one idea to you:

Recycle an old book and it's pages > cut the pages into squares, roll them and form a cone, then create a wreath. Put an Angel cut-out to it and there you go a christmasy paper wreath. Happy Holidays!

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

AS you may know I "work" at a National Trust property. It's an Arts and Crafts house built in 1894. Being a "family home" it makes a great place for Christmas!

Here's a few pictures - the last one is from a other NT house near us. The tall decoration was designed by the House Manager and it revolves -slowly. I made most of the animals based on templates made by the manager.

Most of the paper decorations on the tree are available on you tube, The trees are made from folded paper with music printed on them, I used music from Mozart because his scores are the busiest I could find!

Cheers
Mike

Nice ideas Mike, I like the origami/music sheet trees.
