To make your own graphic woodland scene you will need:
-several empty bottles of varying sizes
-wood grain contact paper
-green construction paper
-pencil
-scissors
-tape
Step 1: Start by covering the base of each bottle with the wood patterned contact paper. Try to line it up so that the grain of the wood is straight up and down.

Step 2: Next you'll make the tops of the trees. Trace a large circle onto your green paper (I traced a salad bowl for the larger trees and a plate for the smaller ones). Cut out the circle. Next, cut out a triangle-shaped wedge that is one quarter of the circle. Fold the remaining three quarters of the circle into a cone shape, so that the edges overlap enough for you to tape them together.

Step 3: Finish the scene by placing pine cones, ornaments or even figurines around the trees.
