Throwback: Conical Christmas

Paul Snyder from Fairfax Community Church in Fairfax, VA brings us this craft paper stage design. (from 2012)

They started with their conical Christmas trees. They bought colored kraft paper and folded them into cones. The paper didn’t hold shape on its own so they started with corrugated kraft paper, then added colored paper on top. They added a cylinder between each cone to give the depth between layers.

They made the purple mountains out of painted plywood, and added clouds made from White Coroplast.

    A few additional notes on our our setup. The tallest trees were about 6′ tall when finished. We used these three colors/rolls of green paper:

    Apple Green: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E3L044/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
    Nile Green: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CIB4JQ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01

    Corrugated Cardboard Wrap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LR4LPC/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00

    We placed LEDs on the floor between the mountains and trees to light the mountains.

    Hey Joy, we’ll be done with it in three weeks, just need to figure out how to get it to you without destroying it. Probably time for you to take a road trip back out here. :-)

    These trees look great! Do you what size/diameter each layer of cone was?

  5. John Falke says:

    Douglas, I posted the paper tree cone template with dimensions here for free download: http://www.openresources.org/all-things-collide

    Let me know if you need anything else.

  6. We just had an issue with the design we had been planning on for Christmas this year. Thanks so much for posting this! It’s going to get us out of a jam and tie in better than our previous idea.
    Thanks again!

    I can’t get the link in Open Resources for the tree template to open. Any other suggestions?
