This craft is perfect for younger children. Under an adult’s supervision, they can practise their cutting and tidying skills and create a beautiful Christmas tree decoration for the festive season.
You will need:..
- scraps of ribbon in your choice of colour, about 25cm long
- a small stick about 20-25cm long
- Scissors
- Twine and hot glue for hanging
- Star embellishment for the top for your tree
Let’s get making…
Cut your ribbon into about 25cm lengths. These don’t have ti be super accurate. The length is just a guide, so don’t worry too much if its a bit shorter.
Tie your ribbon around your stick using a single knot. Single knots will sit flatter than using a double knot. If youre worried about the knot coming undone, add a little pva glue to the knot to secure it. Make sure the ribbons are snuggly up against each other.
Lay your stick and ribbons flat on a surface. Arrange the ribbons so you are happy with how they are laying. Trim your ribbons into a Christmas tree shape.
Add a star bead or button to the top if you wish. If you don’t have a bead or a button, you could make a star from a pipe cleaner, or a sheet of yellow card, or felt.
If you’d like to hang your tree up, ad a loop of tine to the top of the stick with some hot glue.
