How to Make a Popsicle Christmas Tree

Step 1: Gather your materials

Popsicle stick christmas tree ornament craft for kids

Start by gathering your popsicle sticks, colorful pom-poms, construction paper, glue, scissors, and a piece of string.

You can use green or red popsicle sticks for your Christmas tree. If you only have plain popsicle sticks, you can paint them before starting.

Step 2: Make the Christmas Tree Shape

Take three popsicle sticks and arrange them into a triangle.

Glue the ends of the sticks together to form a triangle.

Press the sticks gently and allow the glue to dry.

Your basic Christmas tree is now ready for decorating!

Step 3: Decorate with pom-poms

Now it’s time to add some color!

Take your colorful pom-poms and glue them around the popsicle-stick triangle.

Use different colors and sizes to make them look like little Christmas ornaments.

Arrange the pom-poms however you like to create your own festive design.

Step 4: Make and add the star

Take a piece of yellow construction paper and draw a small star.

Carefully cut out the star using scissors.

Once it is cut, glue the star to the top of the Christmas tree.

Press it gently so it sticks securely.

Step 5: Add the trunk and hanging string

Cut a small rectangle from brown construction paper to make the tree trunk.

Turn the popsicle tree to the backside.

Glue the brown rectangle to the bottom of the popsicle-stick triangle.

Next, take a small piece of string or thread and make a loop.

Glue the ends of the string to the back of the tree, near the top, so you can hang your Christmas tree as an ornament.

Allow the glue to dry completely before hanging it.
