DIRECTIONS

1.First, paint your background on the canvas and let dry. TIP: For stripes, use masking (or painter’s) tape to create straight lines.

2.Carefully cut 12 tubes in half using a craft knife.

3.Arrange the tube halves onto the canvas in the shape of a Christmas tree. Lightly mark the place for each tube so that you can put them back in place after they are decorated.

4.Now, cut green tissue paper into 12 4″ [10.2 cm] squares.

5.On one side of each tube, lay a tissue square over the opening, fold the excess down the side of the tube and secure it in place with a small rubber band.

6.Add a small toy or piece of candy or other treat to each tube.

7.Hot glue each tube to your canvas as marked.

8.Punch 24 circles from white cardstock.

9.Add number stickers 1-24 onto the circles, then glue them onto tubes starting with 1 at the top and ending with 24 at the bottom.

10.Finally, make a red satin ribbon bow and hot glue it to your canvas at the top of the tree.
