Christmas cards are sometimes just as cute as any store-bought decorations you can hang on your tree. Why not make a cork tree to hang all those cute cards and kid's crafts?
You can find cork by the roll at most craft and office supply stores. You will need a roll for this project. Make your tree as big as you and your wall space want.
Use a ruler to outline the shape of your tree. We went with a simple triangle.
Cork by the roll easily cuts with scissors. Use the leftover cork to make a tree trunk.
Paint the tree your favorite shade of green using craft paint. Remember, trees don't have to be green. Hot pink can be fun.
You may need to add a couple coats of paint. Be sure to allow the paint to dry completely between coats.
Use small nails to hang your tree on the wall.
Add an angel or star on top for the full effect.
Christmas costume jewelry will come in handy for this project. The snaps can be used to attach cards to the cork. If you don't have snaps, use colored pins or glue broken jewelry for push pins.
Display cards, photos and decorations handmade by children.
