Older elementary kids will also enjoy this craft. Once completed, the paper mosaic Christmas trees will make a colorful decoration to a classroom bulletin board.

How To Make A Paper Mosaic Christmas Tree

Step 1: Print the free printable Christmas tree template (see link below).

Step 2: Cut out the Christmas tree.

Red, yellow, light green, dark green, and brown construction paper cut into small squares. A white Christmas tree on a black background.

Step 3: Cut construction paper into small squares. The squared don’t have to be the same size. We used 2 shades of green construction paper. We used brown construction paper for the tree trunk.

Step 4: Next, glue the small squares of construction paper to the tree. We found it easier to spread the glue (using a glue stick) to the paper tree.

Step 5: Once completed, you may need to turn your tree over and cut the excess paper tiles.

Step 6: Once completed, we added colored circles to our tree for ornaments. To make it easier, I used a hole punch to cut out the circle shapes.

Step 7: Then, cut a star shape from construction paper and glue it to the top of the tree. We used yellow construction paper.
