To make the 3D Christmas Tree you will need:
- 1 piece of white a4 paper
- 6 pieces of Green a4 card
- Pva Glue (or glue stick)
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Gold, silver, red, green decorations such as gems, berries, bells, buttons, stickers.
- 1 small glittery foam gold star ( or you can cut out a star from gold card)
1. Fold the a4 sheet of paper in half and place the sheet with the folded side to the right in front of you.
2. Draw a Christmas tree shape with a pencil as per picture below.
3.Cut the tree shape out.
3. Using the white paper tree template cut out 6 identical trees from the green card.
4. Fold each green card tree in half. You should have 6 folded trees.
5. Place two trees of the folded sides next to each other and spread glue on one side and stick the two tree halves together.
6. Continue following step 5 until you have all 6 green card trees stuck together like a concertina.
7. Once all six green trees are stuck together, stand the tree up and fan it out to create a 3D tree.
8. Using any decorations of your choice and plenty of imagination decorate your tree as desired. Finally stick a gold star at the top of your tree.

Lovely table decoration for Christmas... You have a nice feeling when you decorate the house with things made at home.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely home-made decoration. I'm rubbish when it comes to being crafty but I reckon my little nephew and I could have fun trying it out.

What a gorgeous Christmas Tree decoration, I used to love making things like this with my mum as a kid:-)

ReplyDeleteNayna you took me down memory lane. I use to make these trees with my class children every year before Christmas. We use to have making the trees, angels, snowmen, etc. Pretty trees.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you made this all by yourself it looks like a proper xmas tree how cool is that?!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a 3D Christmas tree. Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteLooks very effective and so easy to make too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so pretty. I used to love making my own christmas decorations, i need to get back into it x
ReplyDeleteI love these. We used to make them at school, so I've always made them with the children. So simple, and so effective :)
ReplyDeletei love this, we have yet to sort our table out so this would be fab!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea, I might end up making my own version, as we have a 4 week old kitten who loves climbing, I dont think a real tree is wise x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool craft, will have to give this a go with Jack
ReplyDeleteThis looks great and sounds simple to make too. I bet the kids would love to decorate the tree whilst we have our aperitif.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good idea, and I bet that kids would enjoy decorating their own trees.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet craft - I remember making similar trees in school!
ReplyDeleteSuper simple but it also looks pretty sturdy! I'm sure if I tried to make one of these it would just collapse..

ReplyDeleteEliza has to make something Christmassy for a school project - this looks like it will be perfect
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant - we made a similar one last year and it was so easy to make although I don't think it looked as good as yours x x
ReplyDeleteOh you make it looks so simple, I'd love to have a go myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! We'll have a real tree this year, but this would make a great table decoration too.
ReplyDeleteAw that's so sweet and definitely something I could make with my little ones. I'm going to bookmark this for one of the inevitable rainy days to come!!
