Product Information

Here are 53 pages full of our favorite drawing prompts, creative play ideas, art activities, and more! The great thing about cardboard tree storage boxes is that once you’ve finished using them they are 100% recyclable and fully biodegradable which probably won’t be the case with most plastic boxes. Step 2: Using the star shaped cookie cutter, cut out the clay stars and set them aside on a cooling rack. If you’re thinking that all you need to do is cut out a tree shape and then spray paint it, you’re pretty much right.

It took the best part of a day to do it all, with the Christmas music playing in the background and there was a mince pie and a Bailey’s as a reward at the end whilst we watched ‘Elf’ and caught the twinkling of the lights out of the corners of our eyes every now and then.

With your box cutter, carefully slice down the pencil line, being sure to only pierce one side of the cardboard (leave the side that's face-down intact).

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Besides colouring and painting opportunities, features have been included in the design to facilitate the hanging of traditional decorations such as tinsel, ribbons and LED fairy lights! Carefully measure and draw a line straight down the middle with a pencil, then follow these measurements as a guide to draw the lines (be as light as possible with the pencil and rule so you don’t crush the fluted cardboard) and then cut the tree out.Step 5: While the clay is drying, roll the fluted cardboard out and cut out a rectangle to these measurements - 1650mm tall and 900mm wide. And, this could be a great idea for a classroom or preschool where they might not have room (or money) for a real tree. NB: To make the same pink paint I used, mix 75% Dulux “ Lexicon Quarter ” with 25% Dulux “ Morocco ”.
