2. Starting with the corner of the newspaper
we roll it around long stick. We glue it and
pull out the stick. Every child makes few
newspaper tubes.
3. We wrap crepe paper around the tubes carefuly glueing the paper on both
ends. We join branches with glue and mask joint places with some more
crepe paper.
4. We glue long cardboard tubes together
and reinforce them with the slips of
newspaper.
5. We glue short cardboard tubes to the base of the tree.
We reinforce the structure with newspaper.
We wait for the glue to dry.
7. We are not happy with the look of our trunk, so we stick
some brown crepe paper around.
8. We fold red circle by half and fold
fragment of half circle near the straight
line. After spreading we have a petal. We
glue some petals together creating a
flower.
10. We cut small dark pink flower
with the puncher. We fold the
edges and petals inside. We
glue small flowers inside big
ones.
11. We punch green hearts, fold them by half and make another
folding from the straight line towards the round one.
12. We treat folded hearts with paper corrugating machine. After
unfolding them we have leaves with a corrugated pattern.
13. We stick leaves to branches. Every child
creates its own branch.
14. We put thin wire inside branches.
It helps to shape them and makes
them easier to connect with the
trunk.
15. We spike branches into the trunk and reinforce them with
brown crepe paper.
16. The Spring is coming. We will greet it
playing together around a blossoming
tree.
We encourage you to
build such a tree.
Good luck!
