Snowy Paper Christmas Tree

Snowy Paper Christmas Tree
I saw this on a magazine cover someplace last year, and I thought it was too simple and cute to pass up. This was sort of done by the seat of my pants, but it looked like a good place to start for my first Instructable.

Don't worry about the number of steps in this; it's not complicated, I'm just trying to be thorough.

Materials
This doesn't take a whole lot:

1) Paper - plain ol' printer paper should do just fine.
2) A Writing Implement - something that can leave light marks. I used a 0.5mm pencil.
3) A Cutting Implement - scissors should work fine, but I used an X-Acto knife and a cutting mat to go with it.
4) Glue - I used Tacky Glue, though just about anything for paper should work.
5) Tape (optional) - I used some masking tape in some later steps to check how things fit together before gluing.
