How to Make a Yarn Christmas Tree

1. Start by cutting a triangle shape out of cardboard.

2. Wrap the yarn around the triangle.

Keep wrapping and overlapping it until it is completely covered in yarn.

Secure the end of the yarn to the back of the tree with hot glue. Adult assistance required for this part.

3. Attach pom pom ornaments to the tree with glue.

Add a star to the top and attach it with glue.

4. Paint a clothespin with brown paint and allow it to dry.

Clip the clothespin to the bottom of the tree.

Now you should be able to stand the Christmas tree on the clothespin. If you find your Christmas tree is not standing up, it may be that it is too heavy. Try making the size of the tree smaller with less yarn.

We love how easy it is to make these! Kids will love wrapping the yarn around the cardboard.
