Total Time: 25 minutes

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. Cut triangle shapes from your cereal box. I cut 2 different pieces (1 large and 1 smaller). You can cut using your choice of tree design and the number of pieces you wish to make.

  5. Optional: I added a little detail by adding ribbon on one of the trees. Secure the ribbon with tape on the back.

  7. To make the Christmas trees stand up, you'll need to make a stand with some left over pieces of cardboard. Cut a rectangle piece per tree. And then fold in half.

  9. This step involves some trial and error, depending on how you want your tree to stand you may need to make adjustments (by cutting a smaller rectangle or larger, depending.) Then secure with tape on the back.
