DIY Christmas tree with wallpaper

What you need:

8 ½” x 11” white cardstock
patterned paper/cardboard
glue
drag

Step by step instructions

You can use cardboard or any colored paper you have available, gift wrapping paper will also look nice.

I dug through my scrapbooking stash to find some colorful cardstock for this Christmas and I love the added texture these patterns bring.

If you like this style, you can buy them at arts and crafts stores for cheap and often on sale.

Using scissors or a paper cutter, cut the paper into ½-inch wide strips, then cut into various lengths from 2 inches to the longest piece no longer than 8 inches.

Cut a simple star shape from yellow paper and a brown stem, glue the stem to the bottom of a white piece of cardboard, you can use regular printer paper but cardboard is much more durable.

Give your child a glue stick…

…and instruct children how to arrange the strips from the trunk up in order from largest to smallest (or let them be creative, crooked trees are fine too).

Glue a yellow paper star to the top of the tree and your simple, cute kids Christmas tree is ready to display!
