A paper Christmas tree is a great way to add a festive touch to your home decor without spending a lot of money. Here are the basic steps: 1. Gather your materials. You will need some construction paper, scissors, glue, and a ruler. 2. Cut out several strips of paper. The length of the strips should be approximately twice the height of your desired tree. 3. Fold each strip in half lengthwise. 4. Glue the strips together to form a cone shape.
