Slowly and carefully stretch the paper (unfold the folds) along the paper straw (you don’t need to stretch it across the whole length, leave some for the tree trunk). Take the paper straw, and push it through the hole. Once you have folded all folds, take the hole puncher and punch a hole in the middle, punching through all folds.
You can help yourself with a craft stick (or anything really) and run it across the folds.
They can be wider (easier for younger kids). Take the tree part and start folding it (accordion fold) from one end to the other, the folds need to be about half an inch wide (give or take) – 1 cm-ish wide. We printed ours on green print paper, so we will cut and trace the star on yellow paper as we move forward. If you need to trace them on colored paper now is the time. Once you have your template ready, cut out all the pieces. You can also use a sheet of white paper and have the kids color in the template however they like! You can print the tree on green paper as we did (we have a separate sheet with stars only to print on yellow paper to prep for classroom projects). We recommend regular print paper as it’s best to craft with for this particular project.
