How to Make a Spiral Christmas Tree Using the Cutting Template
Follow our simple step-by-step guide:
Print the template
Print the free template on white paper.
Cut out the pieces
Carefully cut along the spiral outline, as well as the star and the circle included in the template.
Prepare the colored paper pieces
Use the spiral template as a stencil: clip it onto a sheet of double-sided green paper and cut out the spiral shape.
You’ll now have a green spiral Christmas tree.
Make ornaments
Cut out small colorful circles from different colored papers. These will be your tree decorations.
Also cut out a yellow star for the tree topper.
Decorate the spiral
Glue the colorful paper circles onto the spiral at equal distances.
Make the base cone
Form a paper cone.
We made ours from white paper and painted it green, but you can simply use green paper.
Assemble the tree
Place the spiral over the cone. Secure the center of the spiral with glue to the top of the cone.
Attach the star on top.
Your original spiral Christmas tree paper craft is ready! It looks bright, fun, and perfect for the holiday season!
