Directions
- Cut several different sizes of yarn. The longest piece of yarn has to be shorter than the width of the paper or card stock.
- Put the yarn pieces in order from smallest to largest.
- Place and glue the yarn on the paper or card stock (horizontally) with the shortest piece on top and longest piece on the bottom.
- Cut one or more small pieces of yard for the stem. Turn it vertically and glue it at the base of the tree!
