Have I got time to sneak one more craft in before Christmas? I think so – let’s try this one!
This is a lovely wee tree that uses crepe paper twist chains to decorate it.
What you will need
1 US letter or A4 sheet of card
Crepe paper in the colour of your choice
Glue stick
Scissors
Pencil
Trace around a dinner plate and fold to make a half circle. Cut out with the scissors and fold over to create a cone shape. Glue to secure.
Cut a strip from the end of the folded crepe paper.
Unroll and using your thumb and forefinger, twist twice to secure. Repeat along the length of crepe paper using your thumb as a guide to get a uniform size.
Cover the cone shape with glue from the glue stick and then attach the crepe paper chain starting at the top of the tree and spiralling down. Repeat with the other colours of crepe paper.
This tree looks good as it is but you could add some glitter shapes, pompoms or whatever you fancy.
