Create a simple paper tree for the holidays
You can make these cute Christmas tree cards yourself with a few pieces of paper and about fifteen minutes of your time. You should know that Christmas trees can be any color you can imagine. That's why you can get white, green, yellow or pink construction paper.Be creativeand ask your children which colors they like the most.
You can make the adorable Christmas cards like this: Create a four-part paper tree by cutting out 4 paper squares with the following widths: 9, 8, 6 and 4 cm. To create a rectangle, fold a square of paper in half. Then fold each corner down until the edges meet at the base. Make sure you fold all of the paper squares the same way. You should now have 4 different sized, folded paper triangles.
Next, create the 3-D Christmas tree: To create a card, fold a piece of cardboard in half. Before sticking a star sticker on the card, remove its protective film. Position it near the top of the map. If you want, you can use a ruler to make sure it is centered.
Glue a small triangle of folded paper to the back with a dab of glue. Place it carefully under the star and press down. Glue should then be applied to the second smallest folded triangle. Place it carefully on the first glued triangle and gently press it down. Continue until all of the folded triangles are inserted, arranging them from smallest to largest. You can then decorate your Christmas card to your taste.
