Craft Sticks Christmas Tree Craft
What you need
- craft sticks – natural or pre-colored
- green wool
- glue
- pom poms
- optional: clothespins
You can adjust the “how to” for this tutorial – depending on the skills of the child.
Take 3 green craft sticks (or color them green). Position them to make a triangle and glue together two (you can also glue all 3 together now to form a triangle, but yarn wrapping will be slower). Allow the glue to set.
Tie the yarn at the top of the triangle. Add glue along the craft sticks.
Start “wrapping” the yarn, making the figure 8, around the craft sticks. Slowly progress towards the bottom, do not weave too tightly. When you get to the bottom tie a know. Add more glue to set the yarn if necessary.
Glue the pom poms to decorate the tree.
You can leave it as is or add a clothespin for a trunk.
