How to Make Paper Cup Christmas Tree Craft
Step 1: Prepare the Green Strips
Take a paper cup and measure its outer circumference using a paper. Cut 3 to 4 strips of green-colored paper with a length slightly larger than the cup’s circumference.
Step 2: Create the Fringe Effect
Using scissors, cut small slits along the width of the green strips to create a fringe-like effect. Be careful not to cut through the entire strip.
Step 3: Wrap the Paper Cup
Wrap each green strip around the paper cup, starting from the bottom.
Layer them one over the other to give the appearance of tree branches. Secure each strip with glue.
Step 4: Add the Star
Cut a star shape out of a golden card sheet. Make a small slit at the top of the paper cup. Attach the star to a small strip of the golden card sheet, then insert the strip into the slit. Paste the strip inside the cup to keep the star firm, especially if you plan to hang the tree.
Step 5: Decorate the Tree
Use small pompoms, buttons, or circular-shaped color papers to decorate your tree. Stick them all over the green fringes with glue.
