Hi friends! It’s time to start thinking of those DIY Christmas decorations!

With today’s Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Frame Ornaments tutorial, you and your child can pull together some one-of-a-kind pieces in no time! Then use them on the tree, as gift tags or just gift them away as is!

You won’t believe how SIMPLE it is to pull these together and I have a feeling these keepsakes will be making their appearance on Christmas trees for years to come! So check out the full tutorial below for the “how-to” and get to work on making your own custom pieces today!!!

Happy crafting and decorating for the holidays, my friends!!!

Christmas Tree Picture Ornaments Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per Christmas tree ornament}
* School Glue
* Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Rhinestones
* Scissors
* Brown Cardstock
* 4×6 Pictures
optional – ribbon, glitter glue, feathers, pom poms etc.

Directions:

* First have children assemble the base of their tree by gluing THREE popsicle sticks together to look like a triangle. Set aside to let it dry. Repeat for each piece you want to make.
* Next have children paint their popsicle stick shape completely green. Again, set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each piece.
* Now grab your scissors and brown cardstock. Cut out a small rectangle. Go ahead and glue it to the popsicle stick piece to represent the trunk of the tree.
* Next grab your printed picture. Trim it down to fit inside the popsicle stick piece. Glue it to the back of your piece.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Ornaments – have children decorate them however they like with rhinestones {really let them go to town with it!} 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!
