Easy Christmas Crafts: Easy Advent Christmas Tree

The Easy Advent Christmas Tree counts off the days to the big day with letters that, when finished, provide a wish for the holiday season.

Add the tree to a bulletin board, a refrigerator door or anywhere it can easily be seen to count down the 25 days.

Print the little tree on green paper or print it on regular paper and color the different shapes however you choose.

The Steps for How to Make the Easy Christmas Crafts: Easy Advent Christmas Tree:

Printed version:

Print the Easy Advent Christmas Tree pattern on green paper.

Cut around the shapes surrounding the letters. (Hint: To keep from losing or mixing up the letters, just cut between the words. Then, cut off the appropriate letter each day.)

Cut around the star and base shapes.

Use these shapes to cut the star out of yellow paper and the base out of brown paper.
