How to Make Christmas Trees using a Cereal Box:
Print ofChristmas Tree template.
Then open cereal box and lay flat and use the Christmas tree pattern to cut out two shapes.
Glue the scrapbook paper triangle shapes on to both sides of the cereal box triangle shapes.
If using hot glue, work in small sections and quickly.
Press down on the paper to sandwich the hot glue in between so it is flat.
confirm the slits in the center match up.
you’re free to also trim them after the pieces are all glued together.
Stack the pieces together to form the tree shape.
Glue any open edges that were missed when first glueing.
Leave it to dry and add more if wanted.
Make two different sized trees using the additional tree pattern and style as part of your holiday decorating.
