Directions:
- First things first – go ahead and draw a large triangle on a single sheet of cardstock paper.
- Next up is the cupcake liners! Pull them out and separate them from the stack.
- One by one – glue down a green cupcake liner {not flattened or folded} inside the triangle design, to start giving the “tree” some dimension.
- Repeat until the tree is full with liners.
- Once all the liners are down and you have a look you like – it’s time for the embellishments!
- Have children glue buttons, sequins, glitter {whatever the heart desires} in the cups of the liners. Really let them go to town on this step! Remember – no two pieces will be alike either!!!
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
