paint (depending on your selection
of tissue paper).
Making the tree will take some time
over 2-3 days. You will need to let some steps dry before moving on to
the next step.
Newspapers come in variety
of sizes. The size of your finished tree will depend on the
size of the paper. This tree was made from a smaller
tabloid-size newspaper and is just over 1 ft high.
Place two sheets of paper on top
of each other. Starting from the shorter end, roll the
paper so that you end up with a tube that is 2 ft long and about
1 inch wide.
Use a piece of tape to secure it
in the middle.
Use scissors to cut the tube in
half starting from the top to about 1/3 of the way up. These two sections will be the branches.
Wind some tape
around each of the branches so that they keep a generally round shape.
Repeat steps 1-3 to make a total of 6 newspaper rolls
following these directions.
Glue or tape the paper tube to the
center of the cardboard. (see photo)
Take the first paper roll and bend
it about 1/3 of the way up. The lower section forms the roots.
Place the middle of the roll against the cardboard
tube and tape in place. The branches should stick out at
odd angles away from the tube.
Repeat until all six rolls are in
place around the tube.
Tape the roots in place around the
tree. You may want to bend some of the at odd angles. Be sure to shape the branches so that they stick out in all directions.
Start tearing the tissue paper into odd shaped
pieces about 1 inch sq. If you have brown tissue, go ahead and use
it. Otherwise, just pick a light color and you can paint the trunk
when it is finished.
Mix some white glue with water, about half and
half. Or you can use a paper mache mix (equal parts flour and
water). If you aren't sure how to make paper mache, find recipes
and information about paper mache.
Wet the paper in the glue mixture and then apply
it to the tree. Wrap the pieces around each of the branches.
Cover the roots, and add some texture to the ground around the tree.
Make a ring (about 2 cm or 1 inch wide) and add
it to the trunk to make a knot.
Let dry over night.
If you didn't use colored tissue paper, get the
paints out and let the kids paint the tree. You might want a few
shades of brown for the tree and variety of greens or browns for the
ground.
When everything is dry, squish sheets of green
tissue paper into loose balls. Glue these 'balls' around the tree as
leaves.
Warning
If you
leave the tree in direct sunlight, the tissue paper will fade over time.
However, it is easy to remove the faded sheets and make a new set of
leaves. You could even change it with the seasons.
