How to make a fan-shaped Christmas tree with folded paper

What you need:

Paper comes in many different colors
drag
glue
tissue or pom poms (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

Let’s set the scene! Cut two large circles, one from green paper and one from white paper, they should be the same size.

Make a wavy cut on the blue paper.

Apply glue to white paper and stick it to heavier backing paper (cardboard).

Apply glue to the blue paper and stick it on top of the white paper.

You can also do the opposite, cutting the white paper and pasting it on top of the uncut blue paper. You have now created your snow scene.

Cut an elongated rectangle from brown paper and glue it onto the scene (near the bottom). This makes our Christmas tree trunks handmade.

Next, take a piece of green paper. Slowly start folding it.

Fold it all the way back. Once done, fold the folded paper in half.
