Kids will get a real kick out of decorating these little evergreens -- the mini bulbs come alight when you punch holes in the outer layers, revealing the colored paper sandwiched between them.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Red and yellow stationery (or other colors you like for
lights)
Green and brown card stock Pinking shears or decorative craft scissors (we used Fiskars Paper Edgers) Hole punch Glue or glue dots Pushpin 2 buttons Monofilament | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: paper | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Sandwich the red and yellow paper between 2 pieces of green
card stock. Cut out a tree shape. |
| 2. |  Remove the red sheet and punch a few random holes through
the 3 remaining layers. Then remove the yellow sheet and replace
the red one. Punch several new holes through the stack. |
| 3. |  Cut a tree trunk from brown card stock (make it a little
taller than needed) and glue the top of it between the red and
yellow layers. Now glue the green layers to the outside. |
| 4. |  Use the pushpin to poke a hole through the 4 layers, about
1/4 inch from the treetop. Thread a length of monofilament
through the hole, then slide a button tree topper onto each end
of the line. Knot the ends of the line to create a loop for
hanging. |
