Retro Christmas Trees
Here’s a fun retro style Christmas Tree Ornament Project. Super easy and perfect for kids 5 and up! Just grab some Hygloss Popstixs, Bucket O’Sequins, Craft Glue and other fun supplies.
Supplies
- Kolorstix Craft Wood Craft Sticks
- Bucket O’Sequins and Spangles
- Bright Colored Craft Paper
- Round Wood Craft Sticks (colorful lollipop sticks)
- Craft Glue (We used Beacon Adhesives Tacky Glue)
- Other; Craft Glue, Craft Scissors, Pencil, Paint Brush, Cup of Water
Step One
Paint the popstixs using craft paint, let dry. We chose to paint ours with pink and green craft paint. You could also paint the lollipop sticks at this point. We chose to paint them after they were glued.
Step Two
Glue the sides of the painted popstixs together to for a triangle. Then cut a square shape from paper and glue to the bottom of the triangle shape. Let dry.
Step Three
Add lollipop sticks to the back of the triangle shape. We cut the sticks to fit the back of the tree. Adults should do this step.
Step Four
Once the glue has dried, start adding various sequin shapes, glittered foam stars and a piece of ribbon or thread to hang your ornament up. We used the larger sequin circles found in the bucket o’sequins.
Get creative with the kids. Add tinsel, wrap pipe cleaners around the tree or use them in place of the lollipop sticks. Add tiny tree trimmings, foil cut outs, felt scraps and more. The choice is yours.
This is a perfect project for those with minimal craft skills, young children, even the older kids and adults. Perfect family project. Recommended ages 4 /5 years and up!
