Paper carton Christmas tree

Christmas Crafts: Christmas Tree | JKK Sumairu Assistant, JKK Tokyo

Let’s make a mini-sized Christmas tree using a carton you have at home.

First, cut off the bottom of a milk carton to create the pot that will serve as the tree’s base.

Next, cut out the remaining part to make two tree shapes.

Decorate each cut-out tree with washi tape, green construction paper, or pom-pom balls to make them cute.

Then, on one tree, cut a slit down from the top, and on the other tree, cut a slit up from the bottom, both through the center, and slide them together so they form a cross.

Finally, cut a slit in the base you made first and insert the assembled tree to finish.

It’s an adorable, tabletop-friendly size, so try making several and displaying them around your space.
