Ribbon Christmas Tree

I am currently working on an 8x8 album where I will put pictures of J and Santa as the years go on. I finished the page for 2014 and decided that I needed some kind of embellishment. Nothing that I had spoke to me so I decided to make a Christmas tree out of ribbon.

I cut green ribbon into three different lengths, with two of each length. The lengths were 2.75 inches,  2.5 inches and 2.25 inches. I then glued the ends of each individual ribbon together to make six individual loops. I then started at what would be the base of my tree with the longest lengths and overlapped the ends. I did this step with the other two lengths.  

I used a .25 width of briwn cardstock to create the trunk of the tree. To finish the tree I added a white and red ribbon bow.
