Step-by-Step Instructions
Paint the toilet paper roll
Start by painting the toilet paper roll in any color you like. The Christmas tree can be green, red, blue, yellow, or any other festive color. Set it aside and allow the paint to dry completely.
Fold and draw the tree shape
Once the paint is dry, gently flatten the toilet paper roll. Using a pencil, draw a simple Christmas tree shape with a small stand at the bottom.
Cut out the silhouette
Carefully cut along the pencil lines with scissors. When you open it up, you’ll have a standing Christmas tree shape made from the roll.
Decorate the tree
This is the most exciting part! Decorate your Christmas tree using beads, rhinestones, colorful buttons, glitter, stickers, or sequins. You can also cut decorative elements like stars, garlands, or ornaments from colored paper or cardstock. Another option is to paint designs directly onto the tree.
If glue or extra paint was used, allow the tree to dry completely. Your Christmas tree craft is now ready!
