This is a great, easy kids craft for Christmas. All you need are some pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks! You can use them on the tree as ornaments, gift tags or just gift them away as is!

With today’s Pipe Cleaner and Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree tutorial, you and your child can pull together some one-of-a-kind pieces in no time! Then use your finished holiday pieces on the tree as festive ornaments for the tree, as gift tags or just gift them away as is to spread some holiday cheer!

You won’t believe how SIMPLE it is to pull these pipe cleaner Christmas trees pieces together! When I ordinary came up with this holiday kids craft idea, I first envisioned the pipe cleaners as “Christmas lights and garlands” wrapped around the tree.

Hopefully you see my vision too and want to recreate them, as well! If you do, I have a feeling these “glitzy” tree art pieces will be making their appearance in your Christmas decor for years to come!

So enough chit chat from me, keep scrolling to check out the full tutorial below for this glitter pipe cleaner and craft stick Christmas trees! Then get to work and join your child in making some of your own custom pieces today!!!

Happy crafting and decorating for the holidays, my friends!!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your craft stick and pipe cleaner holiday trees on our Facebook page, to admire! I just LOVE hearing and seeing pictures from our readers! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Supplies:

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per Christmas tree craft piece}
School Glue
Green Craft Paint
Foam Paint Brush
Small Paper Plate
Sparkly Green Pipe Cleaners
Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
Brown Colored Cardstock Paper
Yellow or Gold Colored Cardstock Pape
optional materials – glitter glue, small pom poms etc. for embellishing the tree

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 craft stick tree piece you want to make today.
Next squirt some paint on the paper plate and have children paint their newly made popsicle stick shape completely green.
Again, set aside to let it dry completely.
Repeat for each piece.
Now grab your scissors and sheets of cardstock paper.
Cut out a small rectangle for the bottom of the craft, as well as a star shape for on top.
Go ahead and glue those two pieces to the popsicle stick piece to represent the trunk & star of the tree.
To finish off the Pipe Cleaner and Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree pieces – grab your pipe cleaners {about two to four per craft} and have children fold/wrap them around the popsicle stick shape to represent lights and garlands {because of the wire in the pipe cleaners, they will stay put without glue}
At this point in time, they can also glue on some glitter and rhinestones on top of the pipe cleaners as ornaments.
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!
