The holiday season is upon us and winter is in the air. On the next rainy or snowy day, gather around a toasty fire and make your own Christmas trees!
Steps 1 and 2
Gather some air-dry clay and toothpicks. Modeling tools are fun but not necessary.
Roll small balls for the your tree branches and stick them to your toothpick “tree trunk.”
Step 3
Plant your tree (the toothpick) on a bed of fluffy snow. Feel free to add gifts to your base if you have space.
Step 4
Decorate with ornaments and a topper, then enjoy!
