15 minutes
Green A4 craft paper, printer paper or thin card.
Sticky tape
Sticky decoration shapes (stars, circles etc)
Glitter & PVA glue (optional)
Cardboard toilet roll / kitchen roll tube OR heavy cardboard
Scissors

Instructions

Begin by making a paper fan, folding along the LONG of the paper.
- Start at one long edge and create a 1 cm fold. Make sure the crease is well made.
- Turn the paper over and - along the same long edge - create another 1cm fold and crease well.
- Repeat until the sheet is folded (concertina'd).

Fold the "fan" in half to create a triangle / tree shape.
Stick the middle edges together with sticky tape to keep the triangle shape.

Use the cardboard tube or rolled cardboard to make a base.
Take a 3 to 4cm piece of cardboard / tube and make two slits in one edge, at opposite sides of the tube.
Slide the paper tree into the slits.

Use the sticker stars etc to decorate your tree.
