Difficulty: Very Easy
Age: 5 and up
This Christmas tree gets its soft and fuzzy look thanks to a few handfuls of pom-poms. The fun comes from not having a pattern – kids are free to place pom-poms of different sizes and colors wherever they want!
Decorate your whole home with festive Christmas crafts! Create homemade cards, your own Christmas ornaments, tasty Christmas recipes, or just snuggle up together with printable Christmas activities.
What you'll need:
- 5-inch square piece of green craft foam
- Scissors
- White craft glue
- Medium and small green pom-poms
- Colorful miniature pom-poms
- 1 small glittery white pom-pom
- 2 small brown pom-poms
How to make it:
- Cut a simple Christmas tree shaped triangle from green craft foam and cover it in white craft glue. (See photo.)
- Cover foam with small and medium green pom-poms. Start with the medium pom-poms first, filling in the gaps with the smaller ones. (See photo.)
- Dot glue on top of the green pom-poms where you want the lights to be. Add miniature colorful pom-poms to the glue spots. (See photo.)
- Glue glittery pom-pom to the top of the tree and two brown pom-poms to the bottom for the trunk. Let dry.
Tips:
- Pom-poms are available in a variety of sizes and colors from discount department stores and craft supply stores.
- Cardboard can be used in place of the green craft foam.
- Watch for seasonal sales at the craft store. Many stores stock holiday themed supplies, such as pom-poms, and sell them at a considerable discount days after the holidays.
