How to make a Christmas stick decoration
You will need:
Sticks of varying lengths
String and scissors
Decorations such as bells, beads, ornaments and nature
Wire
To create this simple, yet beautiful Christmas tree decoration using only a few items, follow the instructions below:
Gather some sticks of varying lengths (around 12 in total) and roughly 1cm-2cm thick.
Lay out your sticks in size order, placing the shortest at the top and the longest at the bottom. Leave around 3cm-4cm space between each stick.
Cut two long pieces of string, roughly 3 times the length of the tree laid out. Tie the first piece at one end of the longest stick and keeping a distance of 3cm-4cm. Tie a further knot on the stick above, repeating until you reach the top stick. Do this again on the opposite side, ensuring the string is the same distance on each side. Tie the two pieces together at the top to create a loop, this is for hanging your tree up.
Now the tree is secure, you can decorate it with bells, beads, nature or decorations. Use wire to thread bells and beads onto and wrap around each stick. Tie decorations on using wire or string. Place a star decoration close to the top using wire or string.
Hang up your finished decoration.
