Cardboard Christmas Tree

Cardboard Christmas Tree

Posted 2014-12-12 by Stephanie follow
This is an easy decoration for Christmas. Using some empty toilet rolls and tissue paper, create a recycled christmas tree with the kids and place on the wall or on doors to bring a christmassy feeling to the house.

Time: 15 minutes and additional drying time
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Empty toilet rolls (I used 26, so start saving them before christmas)
  • Green and brown/yellow tissue paper
  • A large piece of thick cardboard
  • Red and yellow elastic bands
  • Yellow paper, cut into a star shape
  • Christmas wrapping paper
  • Scissors, glue and a pen

  • Method
  • Cover cardboard with wrapping paper.
  • Place toilet rolls over wrapped cardboard, making a christmas tree pattern.
  • Using pen, trace a circle around all the toilet rolls.
  • Cut the tissue papers into rectangles. You need 21 green and 4 yellow/brown.
  • Cover toilet rolls with tissue paper on one side, using elastic band to hold.
  • Glue all toilet rolls on the cardboard, using the marked circles as guide, and leave to dry.
  • Glue your star on top of the christmas tree and your christmas tree is ready. Place on the wall or on the door.

  • If you do not have any toilet rolls on hand, check out my last year's Christmas tree paper craft.
