Material Required

  • Green paper or cardstock
  • Toilet paper roll
  • White glue
  • Scissors
  • Craft knife
  • Paper or fabric star
  • Sequins, small paper shapes, beads, buttons, glitter glue, etc.

Directions to be followed

  • Print out this square pyramid template on A4 or Letter size green paper or cardstock. The printable includes 3 pyramid templates of varying sizes.
  • Use a craft knife to make cross slits following the "X" lines at the center of each square pyramid.

  • Cut out all 3 square pyramid templates.
  • On one square pyrmaid, fold one of the triangles inward. Unfold.
  • Fold the 3 other triangles inwards as well. Unfold all three. Now all 4 triangles are properly creased at the base.
  • Notice how two of the triangles have a pair of side tabs? Fold each side tab inwards.
  • Bring one triangle with side tabs up towards the center. Bring an adjacent triangle up towards the center as well. Glue the two triangles together by the side tab.
  • Bring the remaining triangles towards the center, gluing them together along the side tabs.

  • Assemble the 2 other templates following Steps 4 to 8 to come up with 3 square pyramids of different sizes.
  • Turn the middle-sized pyramid upside-down so that the base is facing towards you. Push the flaps at the center inwards.
  • Apply glue lines connecting the four corners of the cross slits.
  • Position the middle-sized pyramid on top of the large pyramid. Gently push down the middle-sized pyramid so that the tip of the large pyramid is pushed inside the cross slits of the middle-sized pyramid. The glue you applied in Step 11 will bind the two pyramids permanently together.

  • Do Steps 10-11 for the small pyramid and position it on top of the middle-sized pyramid. Carefully push down on the small pyramid to glue it firmly onto the middle-sized pyramid. With all pyramids stacked one on top of the other, you now have a basic Christmas tree shape.
  • Do Steps 10-11 for the large pyramid. Create a tree trunk by inserting a toilet paper roll through the cross slits. Push the TP roll until the top touches the inside walls of the pyramid. *Instead of using a TP roll, you can also roll a piece of brown cardstock or construction paper to make the tree trunk.

  • Now all your tree needs is some holiday decorations. Glue on some sequins, rhinestones, fabric stars, stickers, foam shapes, or paper shapes. You can also draw sparkly dots and lines with glitter glue or puffy paint.

FAQs on Craft Ideas: 3D Paper Christmas Tree - Drawing (Art & Craft) - Grade 2

1. How do I make a 3D paper Christmas tree?
Ans. To make a 3D paper Christmas tree, you will need green construction paper, scissors, glue, and decorations like sequins or glitter. Start by cutting out several identical Christmas tree shapes from the construction paper. Fold each tree shape in half vertically and make a small cut along the fold halfway up from the bottom. Then, apply glue along one side of the cut and attach it to the other side, creating a three-dimensional shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tree shapes, stacking them on top of each other to create the 3D effect. Finally, decorate your paper Christmas tree with sequins or glitter to add a festive touch.
2. Can I use different colors of paper to make a 3D paper Christmas tree?
Ans. Yes, you can use different colors of paper to make a 3D paper Christmas tree. While green construction paper is commonly used to resemble a real Christmas tree, you can get creative and use different colors for each layer of the tree. For example, you can use shades of green to create an ombre effect or use a combination of red, green, and white to make a more colorful and festive tree.
3. Are there any alternative materials I can use instead of construction paper?
Ans. Yes, there are alternative materials you can use instead of construction paper to make a 3D paper Christmas tree. If you don't have construction paper, you can use colored cardstock, scrapbook paper, or even recycled materials like old magazines or newspapers. Just make sure the material you choose is sturdy enough to hold the shape of the tree and can be easily folded and glued together.
4. How long does it take to make a 3D paper Christmas tree?
Ans. The time it takes to make a 3D paper Christmas tree depends on your crafting skills and the complexity of the design. Generally, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete a basic 3D paper Christmas tree. However, if you choose to add intricate decorations or additional layers to your tree, it may take longer. It's best to set aside some dedicated time and work at your own pace to ensure a satisfying result.
5. Can I use a template to make a 3D paper Christmas tree?
Ans. Yes, using a template can make the process of making a 3D paper Christmas tree easier, especially for beginners. You can find printable templates online or create your own by drawing the outline of a Christmas tree on a piece of paper. Simply cut out the template, trace it onto your chosen material, and follow the instructions for folding and gluing to create your 3D tree. Templates can help ensure consistency and accuracy in the shape and size of each layer, making it easier to assemble the final tree.
