Supplies Needed for Paper Cone Christmas Trees
Before we dive into how to make these cute cone Christmas tree crafts for kids, let’s gather the supplies that you need. Fortunately, all of these materials are easy to find, and you probably have most of them in your art closet already:
- Free Printable Christmas Tree Cone Template: You can download and print our Christmas tree cone template for free using the link at the end of this post!
- Crayons, Markers, or Colored Pencils: To color the black and white cone tree templates.
- Scissors
- Glue or Tape: I prefer to use a glue stick because there’s no drying time, and the sticks are much less messy, but regular liquid school glue will work also. Tape is also helpful for assembling the cone trees.
- Other Decorations: Gather materials like sequins, pom-poms, or stickers to add extra Christmas decorations to your cone tree crafts for kids. My kids chose to top their trees with foam stars.
How to Make Paper Cone Christmas Trees with Your Kids
- Color the Christmas tree cone templates. Your kids can use colored pencils, markers, or crayons to color in the printable templates. My daughters used a combination of fine tip markers for the details and crayons for the main tree part, and I LOVE how they turned out!
- Cut out the Christmas tree cone template. There are dotted lines around the tree template to use as a guide, and don’t forget to cut out the tab on the side of the cone shape. You will also need to make a slit in the opposite side of the cone to insert the tab. This is how you’ll assemble the template into a cone shape, and I recommend that an adult helps with this, especially if your kids are younger.
- Roll the printable craft template into a cone shape. Roll the Christmas tree cone template into a cone shape, with the wide end at the bottom. Insert the tab into the small slit on the opposite side of the cone, and use a glue stick or a small piece of tape to secure in place.
- Add other decorations to the Christmas tree cone crafts (optional). Your kids can glue other lightweight decorations on their Christmas trees also. Sequins, pom-poms, and beads can mimic Christmas tree lights or ornaments. Or, attach a small star to the top of the tree.
