Newspaper or unwanted magazine so you don't get glue on the table!

Scissors

PVA glue and glue stick

Sequins and / or glitter

Clear sticky tape

Ribbon

Buttons

Method

Cut a simple tree shape out of one paint sample card. A parent would have to do this for younger children.

Use the first tree as a template to cut more trees

Glue (with glue stick) the back of the trees onto plain white paper (this is to cover paint details on the back of the card)

Cut the trees out from the plain white paper.

Decorate with sequins and glitter using PVA glue, and button for the top of the tree.

Decorating trees, the fun part

Make a loop out of the ribbon you have, and sticky tape onto the back of your card at the top.

You are done! Hang on your Christmas tree, or write a message on the back and give to a friend.
