Magic Christmas trees craft instructions: conjure up a festive atmosphere with DIY-Decoration

Folding stars

Before you start, make sure you have all the materials to hand. The Paper for the stars should be prepared in the dimensions 7 x 7 cm, 10 x 10 cm and 13 x 13 cm.

Fold crosswise

Fold the sheet crosswise once each time so that a folded seam is created diagonally on the Paper .

Cut in half and fold

You will need more folds for the crafting: Fold the sheet once in the middle.

Paper cut in

Now cut the center folds in half on all 4 sides.

Fold star tips

Place the Paper in front of you so that the diagonal fold is facing downwards. Fold the paper from the cut center to the diagonal fold. You will get a pointed star with 4 points.
If you now glue the two edges of a star tip together with double-sided adhesive tape , the star tip will emerge plastically at the folded seam with a 3D look.

Fold a star with 4 points from the second folded sheet in the same way.

Punch holes in the stars

Take the prepared pieces of paper and punch a hole in the center of each star. You can use a simple hole punch for this. This makes it easier to thread onto the round rod later.

Prepare the round rods and wooden discs

The round rods should now be cut in half. Insert the halved round sticks into the wooden discs. These will serve as a stable base for your Christmas tree.

wooden ball and first star

Pull a wooden ball onto the round stick. Then thread the star onto it and secure it with handicraft glue . Make sure that the glue dries well before you continue.

Add more stars

Repeat the previous step with two more stars. Place a wooden ball, between each star and fix it with handicraft glue as well. Make sure that the stars match in size - from largest to smallest.

Last wooden ball and finish

Attach another wooden ball to the top end of the roundel. This forms the end of your Christmas tree.

Hole for the memo holder

Carefully drill a hole in the round stick (1.6 mm drill bit) to attach the memo holder. The memo holder can then be used for small notes, name tags or photos.

Attach decorations

Now tie a satin ribbon with a small bell to the top of your Christmas tree. Complete the whole thing with a pretty tag (small sign) on which you can write a message or the name of the recipient.
