Popsicle Stick & Paper Christmas Trees
There is still time to get your craft on with your child this Christmas season!!! And if you have loved our past EASY kid craft tutorials, you’re going to love the Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Kid Craft I’m sharing with you all today!
With our simple step-by-step tutorial below, you and your child child will enjoy making Christmas tree pieces out of popsicle sticks and cardstock paper, within minutes.
Then you can either display the decorative craft stick trees like we did in our home by turning them into ornaments OR making them the star of your gift packages & cards. The possibilities are endless with this finished piece and they are truly unique like your child too!
So let’s clear off the table to make room for this fun & festive kid craft. You can make an afternoon out of it and/or even a yearly tradition! Remember – you can also take this custom Christmas tree craft idea and run with it too! You can skip the rhinestones and go with other ways to “jazz” it up. Just have fun with it and make it reflect YOU!!!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your Craft Stick Christmas Trees with us on our Facebook page to admire! I just LOVE hearing and seeing your excitement when you complete our crafts! #gluedtomycrafts
