This folded accordion Christmas tree is a super simple Christmas craft for kids. You may already have all of the supplies at home. And it takes less than 30 minutes to make.
These paper Christmas trees make a wonderful decoration for your home or kid’s bedroom. I love decorating the house with crafts my kids make.
My kids made these Christmas trees in less than 30 minutes with minimal mess. I love crafts that aren’t messy.
These paper trees will also make a great craft for a classroom or Sunday school class. Makes a great decoration for a bulletin board or hallway.
You start with green construction paper. You can use any shade. We used a dark green.
Next, you fold it like you would fold a paper fan. I used tape to hold the shape, but you could use a stapler.
We decorated our trees with pom poms because we had a lot left over from a previous craft project.
Add a paper star to the top of the tree and a brown rectangle for the stump. That’s it for this super simple craft.
In the video, I used a glue stick, but we found that using liquid school glue held the pom poms better on the tree.

Folded Christmas Tree Instructions
Fold 1 sheet of green construction paper accordion style (like a paper fan).
Then, pinch the top of the folded green paper so it forms a triangle shape. Secure with tape.
Decorate your paper tree by gluing on pom poms.
Cut a star shape from yellow paper and glue to the top of your tree.
Then, cut a rectangle shape from the brown paper and glue it to the bottom of your tree. This will be the tree’s stump.
I hope you enjoy making this folded accordion Christmas tree kid’s craft.
Ways to Modify This Craft
Instead of decorating your tree with pom poms, you can decorate it with sequins, beads, or colored paper circles. You can use a star sticker for the top of your tree. This craft is perfect to use whatever supplies you have at home. Just use your imagination and have fun.
