These homemade Christmas decorations are gorgeous and only take a couple of materials you most likely have on hand already: cupcake liners and toothpicks or bamboo skewers. So inexpensive and simple to make, perfect for a tight budget so you won’t have to break the bank at Christmas! Here’s how to make paper Christmas trees in just a few quick steps.
Paper Christmas Tree Decorations
Materials:
- cupcake liners (I believe paper coasters will be easier to handle so I recommend using those if you have any)
- toothpicks for small trees and bamboo skewers for larger ones
- scissors
- glue
- tiny elastics
- hot glue – optional
- polystyrene to display the trees
Directions:
- Make the cupcake liner as flat as possible.
- Using your scissors, cut through the liner, stopping in the middle of the liner.
- Overlap the ends to see where you need to apply glue.
- Apply glue to the bottom end, place the other end over and lightly press. Allow to dry before moving to the next step.
- Stick a toothpick or bamboo skewer through the middle of the liner.
- Wrap a tiny elastic around the skewer and gently push until it meets the liner. The elastic will hold the liner in place and prevent it from sliding. If you want to be extra safe, apply a tiny drop of hot glue.
- Continue until you’re happy with the number of liners.
- Stick the skewers to a polystyrene board to display.
