Total Time:20 minutes

Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun

Supplies

  • Foam core board or cardboard
  • Large plastic cups
  • Green and white tissue paper
  • Rubber bands
  • Small lightweight prizes
  • Optional bows or decorations

Instructions

  • BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Choose how many cups you want to use and make sure your foam core board is large enough to arrange them in a Christmas tree shape.
  • ADD PRIZES AND CUT TISSUE PAPER: Place lightweight prizes inside each plastic cup. Cut green and white tissue paper into squares about 7" x 7" or larger.
  • COVER THE CUPS: Place two layers of tissue paper over each cup. Secure the paper tightly with two rubber bands or a doubled rubber band.
  • GLUE CUPS TO THE BOARD: Arrange your cups in a triangular Christmas tree shape. Add a generous amount of hot glue to the bottom of each cup and press it onto the foam core board. Hold for a few seconds until secure.
  • FINISH YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE: Continue adding cups to complete your Christmas tree design. Add optional bows or other decorations.

Notes

  • Use two layers of tissue paper for a better popping sound.
  • Choose lightweight prizes so the cups stay attached to the board.
  • Use more hot glue than you think you need to securely attach each cup.
  • If you want to reuse your board, attach decorations to the cups instead of the foam core.
