How to Make a Tree

Materials you need

Green paper tubes (like the cores of toilet paper rolls or kitchen paper rolls)

Paint (green if you want to match the tubes to a traditional Christmas tree color)

Glue or a hot glue gun

Scissors

Christmas ornaments in various colors

A base (could be a cardboard or wooden circle)

If the tubes aren’t already green, paint them and let them dry. Cut the tubes into different lengths if you want to vary the height of each “branch” of your tree. Arrange the tubes in a triangular shape on a flat surface to mimic the shape of a Christmas tree. You can start with one tube at the top and increase the number as you move down to create the shape. Once you’re satisfied with the layout, use glue or a hot glue gun to attach the tubes at the edges where they touch. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly. Attach the tubes to a sturdy base. You can use a cardboard circle painted green or another material that can support the weight of the tubes and ornaments. Once the glue is dry, and your tree structure is stable, hang the Christmas ornaments inside the tubes. Distribute the colors evenly or create a pattern according to your preference.If desired, add a star on top or other decorations to give it a more festive look. Place it on a table or shelf where it can be displayed.

Remember, the sizes of the ornaments and the tubes need to be compatible so the ornaments can hang nicely without falling out. The ornaments in the image appear to be small enough to fit inside the tubes without dropping through.
