How to make Christmas tree crafts from scrap paper
What you need
- giant craft stick
- leftover green paper
- gold foil or excess gold
- glue
- clear tape or duct tape
Step by step instructions
We like the natural color of the craft stick for this project, however you could also paint it brown. 
Create a loop with a piece of wire
Use tape to secure it to the back of a craft stick – if you are making an ornament to hang.
The craft stick is ready to hang – now let’s turn it into a beautiful decoration.
Cut thin strips from some green (or other colored) scrap paper.
Cut them into different sizes.
Apply glue to the craft stick.
Start gluing the paper strips – the longest strip at the bottom.
Work your way up, adding more glue if needed.
Cut a star shape out of yellow paper and glue it onto the scrap paper Christmas tree craft.
Done! This is ready to hang.
Alternatively, you can do without the string – it would also look great on your homemade Christmas cards.
Happy crafting!
