Servings: 2 Christmas Trees
Ingredients
- 3 pieces of green cardstock
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue dots*
- 2 Empty Toilet Paper Rolls
- Pipe cleaners
- Sequins
- Small Pom Poms
- Foam Stars with adhesive backs
Instructions
- Fold a toilet paper roll in half and secure it with glue dots.
- Trace your child's handprints on green card stock and cut them out (you will need 3 handprints per ornament).
- Overlap two handprints and glue them to the toilet paper roll to form a tree shape. Glue the third handprint on top to create the top layer of the tree.
- Place a foam star at the top of the tree.
- Decorate the tree with pipe cleaners, sequins, and pom poms.
- Cut a pipe cleaner in half and shape one of the halves into an oval for a hanger. Secure it to the back of the ornament.
- Repeat the steps to make a second tree.
Notes
- You can also use Elmer’s glue, glue sticks or hot glue (just be careful with littles!).
- You can use green felt as the handprint Christmas tree base if you want! It can make it more malleable and better to decorate for younger children.
- Strand these ornaments on glittery garland, ribbon, or string to make a DIY Christmas decor garland.
- Light up your handprint Christmas tree ornament with a stick on light or even some little fairy lights!
