A Christmas tree made of chenille stems and decorative stickers

Let’s make a sparkling Christmas tree that will make you even more excited for the holiday! You’ll need construction paper cut into a triangle, tissue paper in green and light green cut into small pieces, glue, brown construction paper, glitter pipe cleaners, decorative materials, a stapler, adhesive, and so on.
The key is that the glitter pipe cleaners shine, so the tree looks bright from any angle.
Just like decorating a Christmas tree with ornaments, finish by sticking on your favorite stickers and parts!
White Christmas tree made with paper doilies

Set a red construction paper as the background and decorate it with a Christmas tree made from white paper doilies for a festive, seasonal wall display.
Shape the tree into a cone and stack two cones to add depth.
Roll a small tube to represent the trunk.
Attach a bell and holly ornament to the top corner, and scatter white round stickers to create a snowy effect.
The contrast of white and red stands out, resulting in a finish that feels both vibrant and warm even with simple materials.
It’s an easy, cute Christmas craft you can enjoy decorating together with children.
Make it with origami! A simple Christmas tree

Stick pieces onto the wall and you’re done! Here’s a wall decoration idea with simple steps.
Prepare green-toned origami paper, red origami, yellow origami, brown origami, blue-toned origami, tape, scissors, and so on.
Use green origami cut into triangles to create the base of a Christmas tree.
Combining not only green but also light green and dark green will add depth to the colors.
It’s also recommended to make paper-cut snowflakes to decorate—this adds a nice seasonal touch!
Three-dimensional Christmas tree wall

Even if you can’t display a real Christmas tree, this is a lovely idea to brighten up your room.
When you think of Christmas, many people probably picture a tree, right? This time, let’s make a three-dimensional, charming Christmas tree using construction paper.
The materials you’ll need are green construction paper, red construction paper (and other colors if you like), a template, scissors, a stapler, glue, and a ruler.
It’s also fine to choose any colors you like for the construction paper besides green.
Since some steps in making the tree involve small, detailed work, it’s best for children to do this together with a teacher or guardian.
Easy paper-plate Christmas tree

First, fold a paper plate and cut along the crease to divide it into four equal parts.
Tear green origami paper into small pieces, as you would for a collage, and paste them on to represent the leaves of a Christmas tree.
If you layer and attach the paper plate pieces with double-sided tape, you’ll create bumps and add a three-dimensional effect.
Stick on stickers in your favorite colors to light up the tree, then add a star ornament at the top.
Finally, make a trunk with orange origami paper and attach it, and your Christmas tree is complete.
It’s a Christmas craft that uses simple materials but can be made festive with a bit of creativity.
Poinsettia Christmas tree
Why not try making a tree together by dividing the process into different steps? The main tasks include crumpling tissue paper, cutting materials, folding and finishing them, and assembling the pieces.
Even a project that might seem time-consuming and difficult for one person can become a meaningful memory when everyone works together to create something.
Let’s make the most of each person’s strengths and complete a dazzling tree that you’ll want to look at forever.
It will surely be a Christmas that stays in your heart.

Let’s try making a bell out of origami to use as a Christmas decoration.
With the colored side of the paper facing up, fold up the bottom edge by about 1 centimeter.
Turn the paper over, fold the top left and right corners in to meet at the center, then fold the top down along the base line of the triangle you just made.
Fold the bottom left and right corners up to meet the bottom point of the triangle.
At this step, fold them at a slight angle so the shape looks like a bell.
Tuck in the remaining corners to refine the bell shape, then make a second one the same way and glue them together.
Finish by attaching a holly piece to the back.
