Make This: Paper Christmas Tree from Doilies

Make a cute paper Christmas tree in just minutes from paper doilies. This quick and easy project is perfect for decorating for all of your holiday parties. These were actually made by my teenage daughter, however, I thought I would take pictures so you could see just how to make them for yourself.

Doilies used to be the thing to decorate with many years ago. They would be used as table runners down the center of a dining room table, draped over an end table, or placed under different pieces to add a little something extra to the decor.

Now, doilies are used in so many things including crafts and décor! You can shape them for candle holders, use them for ornament crafts, and even use them as stencils. You can find vintage doilies at thrift stores or find inexpensive packs of cloth doilies online.

This Christmas tree is tiered with paper doilies and is the cutest tabletop decoration! Paper doilies are excellent craft tools. This is so easy that you could even let your kids get in on the fun, too!

How to make Christmas Trees from Paper Doilies:

Supplies needed to make a paper Christmas tree:

• Paper doilies (in three sizes)
• Wood skewers
• Styrofoam sheet
• Serrated knife
• Wrapping paper
• Tape runner
• Clear tape
• Hot glue and glue gun
• Scissors

Instructions:

Start by finding the center of the doilies then cutting a straight line to the center. Fold into a cone shape and secure with a double sided tape runner. You will need one cone in three sizes for each paper Christmas tree that you are making.

The two largest sizes will need a small opening in the top of the cone. Just use scissors to snip the end.

Then place the cones on a wood skewer and secure in place with hot glue. Hold until hot glue dries.

Secure the smallest cone directly on top of the wood skewer.

Cut a styrofoam sheet into small blocks using a serrated knife.

Wrap the blocks in wrapping paper and use tape to secure. Then put the end of your skewer into the block as a base for your paper Christmas tree.

Make an entire forest of trees if you wish for your home decor. These also make great centerpieces for holiday parties!

The doilies are perfect for making these trees quickly.
