Christmas! Christmas time is here, time for the toys and time for the cheers🥂. Everywhere is smelling Christmas, the weather looks Christmas, Christmas jingles are heard everywhere and decorations have been displayed in public places already.
Talking about decorations, I was asked to but a few decorative items in the market. It was a window shopping at first. I got a few ornaments and decorative prices then part of it was meant to be a Christmas tree.
Well the smallest tree I could get was way more expensive than my budget, therefore there'll be no Christmas tree. 😔
Where I worked, the children never had a tree in all those parties, and I really wanted one this time around buhhhh the money couldn't get one.
Well whilst decorating I had an idea pop up on my mind that I could make a Christmas tree for my children using cartons and cardboard.
This time around like 2-3 person called and asked for the cardboard tree.
So I will share here how I made the tree, it's quite simple and you can make one for yourself.
Materials:
- Cardboard ( 4-6pieces)
- Gum
- Poster color or any paint of your choice
- Cut out of Christmas ornaments ( I made a print of various Christmas ornaments then I carved them out)
- Brush
- Glitters.
Procedures:
- Gum the 6 cardboards together
- And sketch your tree to the desire shape and size
- Paint the tree with your color paint(green color) and the stem with brown color
- When the whole painting gets dried
- Glue your cut outs as the ornaments for the trees
- Sprinkle the glitter as the light
Since it is made of cardboard, it won't stand on it's own so it needs to be pasted on the wall or a board.
Well, your Christmas tree is ready.
Not hard right?
It was last year's work that is still useful this year.
