advent treat tree
This project is intended for an adult to make.
Step 1 |
First, paint your background on the canvas and let dry. |
Step 2 |
Carefully cut 12 tubes in half using a craft knife. |
Step 3 |
Arrange the tube halves onto the canvas in the shape of a Christmas tree. Lightly mark the place for each tube so that you can put them back in place after they are decorated. |
Step 4 |
Now, cut green tissue paper into 12 4" [10.2 cm] squares. |
Step 5 |
On one side of each tube, lay a tissue square over the opening, fold the excess down the side of the tube and secure it in place with a small rubber band. |
Step 6 |
Add a small toy or piece of candy or other treat to each tube. |
Step 7 |
Hot glue each tube to your canvas as marked. |
Step 8 |
Punch 24 circles from white cardstock. |
Step 9 |
Add number stickers 1-24 onto the circles, then glue them onto tubes starting with 1 at the top and ending with 24 at the bottom. |
Step 10 |
Finally, make a red satin ribbon bow and hot glue it to your canvas at the top of the tree. |
