It’s time to get creative! Craft a one-of-a-kind Christmas tree with popsicle sticks and your own unique style. Let’s get started!
Wood 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 kids 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

- Cut out a large triangle to be the inside of the Christmas tree, from the green scrapbook paper.
- Cut out a small rectangle from the brown cardstock, for the bottom of the craft.
- Also cut out a small triangle from the yellow cardstock, for the top of the craft.
- To finish off the Paper and Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree pieces – glue all your cut out paper pieces in their designated spots on the painted wood shape.
- At this point in time, they can also glue on some small rhinestones for the “ornaments” on the tree.
- Once done, set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
- For displaying – glue some string to the back for easy hanging on the tree or adding to gift packages!
