3. Cut paper cup

This was a cup that I cut in a similar way but as I have to 'undo' the rims, there is a small 'edge' of thicker paper that I decided to cut in different directions to see if I could mimic a tree, bearing in mind the origins of this material. I ended up with a small copse of three 'trees' which I then placed around the edge of the base of the cup, slotting the ends into the gap, thereby removing any need for glue or means of attachment.
I like the inference of a 'windswept' landscape although this may be a little fanciful on my part. 
The trees I think look fragile and in need of protection, succumbing to forces beyond their control.
Method: cutting
Tools: scissors
Materials: one paper cup
