Paper Christmas trees

 


This is one for older kids, it involves spray paint and being careful so I wouldn't try it with anyone less than around 8 or 9, and then only with supervision.

Things you need:

(Forgot to take a picture, sorry!)

A sheet of paper
A dinner plate or something similar to draw round to make a large circle
PVA glue and something to spread it with
Glue gun
String
Green spray paint
Gold rubbing paint



What to do:

Draw round the plate on the paper and cut it out


Fold it into quarters to find the middle and cut down one of the lines




Cover the whole circle in PVA glue


Roll the circle up into a cone, tie a knot in a length of string and poke it through the top of the cone so they can hang to dry

Once dry, use a glue gun to make shapes of Christmas tree decorations


Spray the cones with green spray paint


Use the gold rubbing paint to highlight the raised areas made with the glue gun


Hang wherever you like in your house
