The kids really enjoyed doing this craft. You need to trim the green and yellow construction paper down to the size where you can print off the templates in your printer. And, I made "ornaments" on card stock because I'm certifiably crazy and do way too much. I had thought about getting little packs of those star stickers for the kids to put on their trees as ornaments, but couldn't find them easily, so opted to make the ornaments myself... which took a long time to cut out.
You can put as many "trees" and "stars" together to make the 3-D effect, but I think at least three are needed for a nice tree. The tree above has three trees and three stars glued together, but I was able to give each child 4 trees and they looked a lot nicer. And, of course, the label at the top is essential. "Jesus is the Reason for the Season". I printed that off on card stock.
Just fold each of the trees and stars in half and have the kids use glue sticks to glue the halves together, working your way around until you have the full effect.
