1 00:00:01,010 --> 00:00:11,009 Hi, my name is Solange Kindermann and today I'm going to demonstrate how to make a Christmas tree with recycled magazines. 2 00:00:11,009 --> 00:00:22,010 Here I have a men's health magazine, however it can be anything. The smaller ones like that are made with recycled Avon. 3 00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:30,010 You ask your Avon lady to keep it for you. That one is a women's magazine, this is a magazine called Madison. 4 00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:47,570 And this one here is Woolworth's. I give it to you with recipes. And it's only 24 pages. My recommendation is 28 to 32. But as you can see, 24 pages will do a beautiful one. 5 00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:56,570 The reason I recommend 28 to 32 pages is because the more pages you have in a tree, the more 6 00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:59,570 firm she can handle better. 7 00:00:59,570 --> 00:01:00,570 See? 8 00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:01,570 Very, very tough. 9 00:01:01,570 --> 00:01:11,569 Now, this magazine here, usually a magazine you can make two or three, depending on how 10 00:01:11,569 --> 00:01:12,569 many pages. 11 00:01:12,569 --> 00:01:19,230 I'm going now to show you how to separate the magazines. I have separated 12 00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:25,950 already one but I will separate another one. What you count 15 pages on this side 13 00:01:25,950 --> 00:01:35,670 and and you need a sharp knife it doesn't have to be that big but you need 14 00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:44,790 a sharp knife and you go like that right in the middle very firmly two or three 15 00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:55,239 times and then you go on the other side count 15 pages as well and and do the 16 00:01:55,239 --> 00:02:07,200 same right in the middle here you have a very firm you are actually cutting into 17 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:25,469 the glue and once you have that you will pull here slowly because you have to pull with some 18 00:02:25,469 --> 00:02:31,990 of the glue in the magazine because if you if there is no glue at all you won't be able to 19 00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:45,599 Sometimes the front and the back will separate like it did here. 20 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:58,610 What you do is you put a little bit of glue here and let it dry somewhere. 21 00:02:58,610 --> 00:03:04,129 And I have another one here that I have separated and I'm going to start. 22 00:03:04,129 --> 00:03:11,689 we do is you put the magazine it's better that you open the magazine first 23 00:03:11,689 --> 00:03:18,889 here on the first page you want to get the right-hand corner and bring all the 24 00:03:18,889 --> 00:03:30,050 way here we call the first the first folding and you hold it here the same 25 00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:34,389 thing in the same fashion you are going to get from the right corner of the 26 00:03:34,389 --> 00:03:40,490 magazine make that one with your finger here but not here let it round here and 27 00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:48,949 make sure because that is the end of the and you are going to do that with all 30 28 00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:54,409 pages okay page that is actually the cover of the magazine which can be 29 00:03:54,409 --> 00:04:00,650 included and you do that as well and then you pick it up put it here and do 30 00:04:00,650 --> 00:04:08,409 the last one as well which is the cover of the magazine so there you have but 31 00:04:08,409 --> 00:04:16,209 then you put them like that now we are going to start the second folding the 32 00:04:16,209 --> 00:04:24,290 second folding is you're going to meet the end of the page to the folding that 33 00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:45,550 you've already done like that see here there to the end now I am at the ending 34 00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:52,110 of the second folding which is that one here the cover of the magazine and again 35 00:04:52,110 --> 00:05:17,579 I have to put that one here. And bring it here. Now we are going to start the third folding. Now 36 00:05:17,579 --> 00:05:26,740 the third folding is you are going to do something similar to the first folding. You get the right 37 00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:41,250 hand corner and bring it to the middle pressing here and and again and again 38 00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:49,490 right hand corner bring the paper to the middle we are the end now of the second 39 00:05:49,490 --> 00:05:56,750 folding and I just want you to remind you that as you fold keep on pressing 40 00:05:56,750 --> 00:06:04,189 here because it's the end the more you press the point here it will look your 41 00:06:04,189 --> 00:06:13,670 tree so here we are now the tree is ready we are going to stand it up now if 42 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:19,610 you happen to use the cover of the magazine too stiff so that it doesn't 43 00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:28,790 disturbed your tree you will have to staple the cover so that it will stay 44 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:36,850 now the tree is ready to be decorated that I will explain to you all you do is 45 00:06:36,850 --> 00:06:44,870 get a piece of felt into the format of a star or you can put a little angel or 46 00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:50,149 whatever you want and with a toothpick and just put it in the middle like that 47 00:06:50,149 --> 00:06:59,389 now to finish it off it is optional but you can use a piece of felt on the 48 00:06:59,389 --> 00:07:09,980 cardboard cardboard I used it from Pizza Hut and you put some glue in here and 49 00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:16,459 that is optional and put it on here and now you can give one to each resident 50 00:07:16,459 --> 00:07:21,899 to decorate and the decoration is the sky's the limit for instance here I 51 00:07:21,899 --> 00:07:28,240 didn't have the ribbons to glue and I glue just some crepe paper and these are 52 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:35,300 the punch the little punch out that you can get with all sorts of beautiful 53 00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:43,579 little shapes now don't forget that that is much easier to separate because it's 54 00:07:43,579 --> 00:07:50,540 stapling, it's not glued, and any sort of magazine will do. Thank you and see you next time.
