Handprint Christmas Tree Craft

Kids Christmas Crafts

We call this handprint Christmas tree craft our Charlie Brown tree. For those of you familiar with the Charlie Brown Christmas show you know what I mean. This is a standing Xmas tree fill with handprints cut from many different unusual and fun looking paper.

Of course you can make this kids Christmas craft idea with green paper to have a more traditional looking tree. Simply decorate it once it is all put together or leave it undecorated for a beautiful evergreen tree.

Handprint crafts make such a wonderful idea because you not only get a great Xmas decoration but you get to preserve your child's handprint in the craft. Then several years later when you pull this out for the next holiday season you can see just how much they have grown.

Supplies

1 Red Poster Board
Red Designed Card Stock or Paper

How to Make a Handprint Christmas Tree Craft

Step 1

Cut your poster board in half. You will only be using 1 half of the board so save the other half for another craft.

Step 2

Draw a half circle on your poster board and cut it out. Form this into a cone shape and glue or tape in place.

Tip: Make sure this stands up. You may have to trim off the bottom a little to make it stand.

Step 3

Using your red design paper, trace and cut several different handprints. Use different patterns to give this a fun and unique look.

Step 4

Take a pencil and wrap this around each finger to curl the fingers and thumb of your handprint.

Step 5

Starting at the bottom, glue the handprints all around the cone.

Step 6

Continue to glue handprints all around the Christmas tree working up from the bottom to the top.

Step 7

Finish your tree by cutting out a paper star and glue or tape this to the top of the tree.

For this handprint Christmas tree you can use green paper and then decorate it after or leave it green. We recommend using different shades of green so you can see the different handprints better.
