Chopstick and Bead Christmas Tree - finished treeThis is a fun and quick way to make a little decorative Christmas tree, using stuff you might have saved in your house. I am a wooden chopstick hoarder. I find them so useful for crafts and projects. Here, I decided to rubber band them together to make this tree so I could use them again in the future! (No glue necessary!) Some Mardi Gras beads came in handy for the decorations, but you can use anything to adorn your baby tree.

Steps:

  1. Bunch all the chopsticks together and tie the end with a rubber band.
  2. Chopstick and Bead Christmas Tree - secure one end of the chopsticks with a rubber band
     
  3. Spread the chopsticks out so they are spaced out evenly, making a cone shape. Push the small ball in to keep the shape of the cone.

Amazing imagination. These can be preserved and put out in each room. Can even match the color or your room. They are delightful to look at and I admire your creative mind.
