Christmas Crafts - Paper Crafts - Paper Christmas Tree or Evergreen Tree This craft project is fun for both young and old alike and looks great plain and decorated. A whole forest of trees can be created which also looks really great. All you need for the basic tree is just green construction paper or cardstock, scissors and glue. The tree can be made as large or as small as you like, depending on the size of circles you use. Using decorative edged scissors to cut the circles out, give the tree ends a more realistic look. The hardest part about making the tree is forming the cone shape. This can be done easier when you first wrap your cut semi-circle around a small cylinder or tube shape item such as a film roll or so. This will help curl the paper to make it easier to work with.   Home Spring Crafts and Easter Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Christmas Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Valentine Crafts   >> Easter Bunny Crafts   >> Easter Chick Crafts Summer Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Birthday Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Maritime Crafts   >> Patriotic Crafts  Autumn Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Greeting Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Pumpkin Crafts   >> Halloween Crafts   >> Leaf Crafts   >> Thanksgiving Crafts Christmas and Winter Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Christmas Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Snowman Crafts   >> Santa Claus Crafts   >> Gingerbread Crafts   >> Christmas Projects Greeting Cards and Birthday Cards   >> Spring   >> Summer   >> Fall   >> Winter Paper Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Paper Craft Tips    >> ATC    >> Tags    >> Kids Paper Crafts Wood Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter  General Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Jewelry Crafts    >> Recycling Crafts    >> Nature Crafts    >> Craft Recipes  Kids Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Clay Pot Crafts    >> Fuse Beads Crafts Fabric and Sewing Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Felt Crafts Craft Patterns Craft Tutorials 1 Craft Tutorials 2 Newsletter Picture Gallery Contact Links Sitemap All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes.

This gives the edge a more realistic look. 2. Cut each circle in half using normal scissors so that you now have eight halves. This is enough for 2 trees. 3. Form a cone with each semi-circle and glue the side edge. Hold together with a paper clip. 4. Cut into the bottom about 1/4 inch or 7mm from the bottom edge with your normal scissors as seen in the picture below. Do this around the whole bottom edge. 5. Take each of the four sizes and start to assemble your tree. Starting with the bottom, place a dot of glue on the tip. Add the second biggest cone over it, place a dot at the tip and add the next smaller size, and so on. Do this until you have used your last tree part. 6. Let the tree dry. 7. To add decorations, create a garland like this. Take a piece of wire about 20 cm or 6 inches long. Add the first bead 5 cm or 2 inches from one end of the wire. Go with the the other wire end again through this bead to secure it in place. Continue adding beads in this manner at 1.3 cm or 1/2 inch intervals until the garland is long enough. Insert the first wire end through the top tip of the tree and secure it inside the tree with tape if you can. Wrap the garland around the tree and tuck the other end through the bottome of the tree when finished. Secure this end also with tape.   Selected Winter and Christmas Paper Crafts Christmas Gift Bag with Jumbo Tea Lights Christmas Star Plant Poke Christmas Tag Trio Gingerbread Man Origami Star Quick Christmas Gift Tags Paper Angel Ornament Paper Christmas Tree Paper Table Lantern Paper Tube Santa Claus Scrapbook Paper Memory Game for Kids Scrapbook Paper Mitten Tree Ornament Scrapbook Paper Snowflake or Star Shaker Snowman Christmas Tree Ornament Stitched Paper Snowman Used Christmas Cards Tree Ornament ..........................................................................................................................................   Related Crafts and Projects: Card making tips and information These tutorials are especially made to help describe the techniques used to make the different card, tag and ATC crafts shown on this site.
