These are great ways of using up cardboard boxes whilst creating some really lovely minimal decorations to hang on your tree. This could be done from age 8+, it just requires some scissor work but is equally great as an adult craft!

Alternatively, to create this into a garland, you can space the stars and beads out along a piece of string or twine alternating with different/random sizes to create a star garland!

What you will need:

  • Plain Cardboard (white or brown)
  • Scissors
  • String
  • Small wooden beads
  • Template (if using) and pencil

Method:

  1. If using, print your templates out and cut. 
  2. Cut your cardboard out into the different sized stars. 
  3. In the middle of each star, pierce a hole using the scissors. 
  4. Take your string and tie a knot at one end and place a bead on. 
  5. Then slide the largest star to the bottom. 
  6. Then slide a bead on next and then the next largest star. 
  7. Repeat, using a slightly smaller star each time. 
  8. Finish with a bead and secure with a knot. 
  9. Loop your string and ta-da- you have a christmas tree decoration!
  10. Repeat to create multiple trees.
