Guide on Making Christmas Tree with Cupcake Liners
Step 1: Prep Your Liners
First, you need to cut the bottom portion of each cupcake liner to reveal the wavy edge. This will create the “fringe” effect for your tree.
Step 2: Create the Tree Trunk
Next, glue a small wooden board onto a larger wooden board to form the base, then attach a dry branch vertically to the center of the larger board to create the tree trunk.
Step 3: Shape the Tree
Now, you cut a piece of cardboard into a pyramid shape. Glue the pyramid to the top of the tree trunk.
Step 4: Attach the Liners
You just apply hot glue to the back of each liner and adhere it to the cardboard pyramid, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Overlap the liners slightly to create a fuller, more realistic tree shape.
Step 5: Add Decorations
Finally, you glue small ornaments, beads, or other decorations to the tree.
