A Christmas luminary is the perfect Christmas tree kids craft to make this holiday season! You need minimal supplies and these make a fun holiday centerpiece, as well!
We share a lot of holiday crafts on this blog, including Christmas Crafts for Adults, as well as Christmas Crafts for Toddlers!
Today, we’re sharing an easy kids Christmas craft, but this would also be a fun craft for teens and adults too!
I would love to see a bunch of these along a mantle or dining table. They’d make such a fun, glowing centerpiece for any holiday table.
All you need for this easy Christmas tree craft are:
- Thick Craft paper or cardstock paper.
- Colorful tissue paper.
- Scissors.
- Pencil.
- Ruler.
- Glue.
- LED candle.
Full craft card is below, but here’s basically what you will need to do:
First you will take a black or darker colored cardstock paper and fold it into three equal folds. Be sure to keep an extra 2 centimeters on the last fold.
Cut out a rectangular piece from the middle of the second folded part.
Use the PDF template (see below for the link for the free christmas tree template) to cut out tree shape using the same piece of card stock paper.
Now, cut out strips of colorful tissue papers. Use any colors of your choice.
Take one strip of tissue paper and glue it on the top of the middle area to fill in the blank.
Use rest of the strips to fill in the rectangular blank. It will end up looking similar to this:
Now take the Christmas tree cut out and glue it over the pieces of tissue papers.
Apply glue on the small end area of your cardstock.
And then glue it with the beginning part of the luminary. This will create a triangular shape and your luminary is ready to light up. Just insert an LED candle and it’s done!
