Christmas is so close! It is hard to decorate on a budget but it can be done. For this project all you will need is listed bellow
Popsicle sticks are always good to keep around for crafting or making snacks, but they are the best for making Christmas tree, Christmas ornaments. There are a lot of creative ways to make tree ornaments. I like to do the most with glitter though so we will be making sparkly trees that you can spot across a big living room, and hopefully it will brighten up your dorm room and give you a sparkling home feeling this Christmas.
You can find everything on the needed list at Walmart, or local craft stores and if you want you can just cut stars out of yellow sparkly paper and cut out different size small circles to use as ornaments.
You’re going to want 5 different sizes of popsicle stick pieces cut to 1″, 1.5″, 2″, 2.5″, and 3″ lengths. To cut the popsicle sticks, use a utility knife and give it a good strong cut into the wood as hard as you can make sure you cut both sides of the popsicle stick. You probably won’t make it all the way through, but that’s okay as long as you made a good enough chunk to snap it after.
After you get your popsicle sticks cut, grab a piece that is not listed in the lengths about, maybe about 1/2″ long, add some hot glue and attach a small piece of twine, about 4” long between the brown popsicle stick “trunk” and the small scrap. This will make your trees able to hang.
Next you will need to evenly space out your green cut popsicle sticks on the trunk and glue them down. Let them dry a little then you can go crazy with decorating your ornament with a lot of glitter and big stars.
