Miniature Christmas Tree

Posted 2013-11-29 by Vanessa Mfollow
The technique used to make this tree is a little time-consuming but the effect is worth the effort.

Time: 1 hour
Age: 5-10's
Level: Medium

Materials
  • Thin cardboard or paper
  • Tissue paper
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Compass, plate or other round object
  • Glue

  • Method
  • Using a compass, plate or other method, draw a semicircle on your paper.



  • Cut the semi circle out.
  • Rip or cut pieces of tissue paper into small squares around 1.5cm x 1.5cm.



  • Mould these pieces around the end of the pencil.



  • Glue them to the paper.



  • Fill up around 2/3 of the semicircle using this technique, trying to be as compact as you can so there are no white spaces.



  • Trim the tissue paper.

  • Glue the empty 1/3 to the inside of the rest of the paper to create a cone.



  • Decorate the tree however you like.

  • Ive used the same technique with red tissue paper
