If you have some MINI cupcake liners left over from your holiday baking – DON’T THROW THEM OUT! I have the perfect Christmas themed kid craft idea to use up those paper cups AND make a beautiful, one-of-a-kind masterpiece at the same time!

Just check out my Cupcake Liner Christmas Tree tutorial below to see what I’m talking about!!!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Cupcake Liner Christmas Tree Supplies:

* Mini Cupcake Liners {green are best but any color will do!}
* Cardstock {green being important for the tree!}
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Buttons/Glitter/Sequins

Directions:

* First have children cut out a basic triangle piece out of green cardstock, to be the base of the Christmas tree. Glue it down in the center of another sheet of cardstock.
* Then trim out a tree stump and star from the remaining cardstock you have & glue them down on the cardstock sheet as well.
* Now is the cupcake liners. One by one – glue down a green cupcake liner {not flattened or folded} on the triangle cardstock piece 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!
