Christmas Tree Popsicle Stick Craft

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Gather your supplies.

Step 2: Build the Triangles

Arrange three jumbo craft sticks into a triangle and secure each corner with a glue gun. Make two triangles.

Tip: Liquid craft glue works too, but you’ll need extra drying time.

Step 3: Paint the Triangles

Paint one triangle bright green and the other medium green. Let them dry fully and add a second coat if needed.

Step 4: Trace the Tree Patterns

Download, print, and cut out the tree patterns. Trace the tree once onto bright green cardstock and once onto medium green cardstock.

Step 5: Cut Out the Trees

Cut out the cardstock trees, cutting just inside the traced lines for a clean fit behind the craft sticks.

Step 6: Attach the Cardstock

Glue each cardstock tree to the back of its matching craft stick triangle.

Step 7: Paint the Stars

Paint two wooden stars yellow and let them dry completely, adding a second coat if needed.

Step 8: Add the Pom Pom Ornaments

Glue pom poms in assorted colors to both trees. Let kids choose their own placement!

Step 9: Shape the Garland

Bend clear tinsel chenille stems into a scalloped garland shape and cut them into four sections.

Step 10: Glue on the Garland

Glue the garland onto the trees, starting at the bottom and working your way up.

Step 11: Paint the Trunks

Cut one jumbo craft stick in half to make two trunks. Paint them brown and let them dry.

Step 12: Add the Stars and Trunks

Glue the wooden stars to the tops of the trees and the trunks to the bottoms.
