Claire’s Tip:
Little children will need some help. Older children will find this great fun and their place holders can be ‘shown off’ on your Christmas Lunch table!
You need:
- Small wrapped box (i.e. match box)
- Wrapping paper
- Selotape
- Scissors
- Lolly sticks
- Green pipe cleaners
- Green crayon
- Sequins or things to decorate the tree
- Pritt Stick
To make:
- Wrap your small box (I used a match box) with the wrapping paper
- Colour the lolly stick green with the crayon
- Wrap about 4 pipe cleaners tightly around the stick spaced out like the branches of a Christmas tree
- Cut the pipe cleaners into a triangular tree shape
- Decorate the tree by sticking on the sequins with the glue
- Make a slit in the small box and slot the tree in
- Write the name on the box. Using a gold or silver pen would be better than the biro I used!
- Display on your Christmas table for all to see!
