How you do it:
First job is to forage your sticks. Make sure they are clean and dry. Then pick your favourite shape and follow the instructions below.
To make a tree:
- Bind
three sticks together in a triangle formation
- Tie
a new piece of twine to the top triangle and wind down the tree
- Tie
a third piece to the top of the decoration for tree hanging
To make a star:
- Bind 2 triangles and then bind these together to form a star shape
- Tie another piece of twine to the top of the decoration for tree hanging
To make a snowflake:
- Tie a bundle of 6 sticks together in the centre
- Gently pull the branches out to form the snowflake configuration
Tip: You’ll need to help the kids to tie knots in the twine to hold the sticks together. Cheat with a little bit of sellotape to form the shapes if needed.
