Step By Step Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Craft Instructions:
STEP 1: Grab popsicle sticks to make the base of your popsicle stick tree. I have used ten popsicle sticks, one for the base and nine for the Christmas tree layers.
STEP 2: Trim eight popsicle sticks (one shorter than the other like I have trimmed them from 10 cms to 2cms) so they then can mimic a Christmas tree shape.
STEP 3: Start painting your popsicle sticks. I have used red, blue, and green colors but you can use the color of your choice or the one that your little one likes the most.
STEP 4: Paint each stick individually so that you can decorate each stick in different patterns like polka dots, zigzags, and stripes. You can also paint the Christmas tree trunk or leave it as it is. Let the paint completely dry.
STEP 5: It’s time to decorate your popsicle Christmas tree craft using glitter glue or glitter powder. You can draw zigzag garlands, polka dots for ornaments, and more. Be creative when decorating your Christmas tree ornament craft. Set this aside and let the glitter dry completely.
STEP 6: Lay the tree trunk on a flat surface and start layering the Christmas tree layers (for example the longest one to the shortest starting from 1 inch from the bottom). Maintain a small gap between each craft stick. Let it dry completely to avoid future struggles.
STEP 7: Attach a piece of twine or a ribbon at the back and top of the craft stick Christmas tree craft. Make sure the loop is secure and big enough to hang on a Christmas tree. Let it dry completely.
STEP 8: Check for the final adjustments like dusting off extra glitter powder or glue so that it looks clean and beautiful. If you are not satisfied you can also add more patterns or other decorative elements like pompoms, gemstones, and more.
STEP 9: Finally, your popsicle stick Christmas tree ornament craft is ready to add its charm to your Christmas decorations. Use this as a Christmas tree ornament DIY handmade Christmas gift for your loved ones or display it on your wall or front door as a DIY Christmas hanging.
Tips For DIY Paper Plate Christmas Tree Craft
Tip 1: Always try to use bright and vibrant colors for the festive look like red, green blue, pink or golden color. This will make your Christmas tree craft stand out. For more creativity, you can also mix glitter powder with your regular watercolor to add that extra layer of shimmer.
Tip 2: A Christmas tree is incomplete without a star topper, make sure to add one. Cut a small star out of golden felt paper and glue it at the top of the Christmas tree ornament. This will make it look more classy and elegant.
Tip 3: You can paint each layer in different themes like candy cane stripes, snowfall, polka dots, and garlands. Use fine-tip brushes for that extra level of detailing in your designs.
Tip 4: You can use glitter glue (or simply make a pattern with glue and then sprinkle glitter powder to get a similar effect) to give a 3D touch.
Tip 5: To get that extra 3D touch, you can use gemstones and rhinestones instead of glitter glue. This will add more dimension and sparkle to your popsicle stick Christmas tree.
Tip 6: To make your Christmas tree craft look wintery or snow-dusted look, use a white marker pen or silver glitter powder.
Tip 7: While gluing a twine or a ribbon, use a small piece of cardstock or tape. This will make sure your craft stick Christmas tree is strong and sturdy.
Tip 8: Make 15-20 of these popsicle stick Christmas trees and then tie a knot at the top of each and then attach them to a long ribbon or twine mimicking it as a garland. Now use these Christmas tree garlands to decorate your Christmas tree, holiday front porch, or Christmas mantle, options are endless.
Tip 9: You can also add other Christmas elements like jingle bells and attach them at the base or top of the tree craft. This will be your perfect holiday musical instrument.
