Hey, all my crafty friends! So who's ready to do some Christmas crafting? đ

In today's video, I am making 2 wood and scrapbook paper Christmas trees. This is an easy project that can be done with the kiddos.

Project Steps.
Step 1. Wood Strips.
- I used wood from Hobby Lobby which I had to cut in half using a miter saw. This project can be done using large craft sticks for a kid-friendly craft.
Â
Step 2. Sanding.
- I sanded each piece of wood to remove all the rough places after cutting.
Â
Step 3. Cut Paper to Size
- I used buffalo check and Christmas themed scrapbook paper.
- Cut each piece down to fit on each wood piece.
Â
Step 4. Attaching Paper to Wood
- I used Mod Podge to attach the paper to each wood strip.
- This can be done using white glue.
Â
Step 5. Sand Edges. (Optional)
- After all the pieces had dried I used a sanding block and sanded the paper and the edges to give everything an aged look.
- This is optional. If you want more of a modern look skip this step.
Â
Step 6. Apply Antiquing Wax (Optional)
- I used antiquing wax to give this tree more of a rustic aged look.
- If this isn't your style or if you don't have any antiquing wax this step can be skipped.
Step 7. Attaching the Tree.
- I used a glue gun to attach small craft sticks to the back of each tree.
- This can also be done using white glue for a kid-friendly version.
Â
Step 8. Apply Finish. (Optional)
- I applied Mod Podge to the trees to give them more of a finished look and to make sure the paper was attached on all of the strips.
Â
Step 9. Building the Base.
- If you want to display these trees on a tiered tray, table, bookcase, shelf, etc. you will need to build a base. These trees will not stand up by themselves, the wood is not thick enough.
- I used 3 Tumbling Tower blocks to create a stand.
Other Display Options.
- Drill a hole in the top and attach twine to hang on a tree or wreath.
