This Christmas tree craft is so simple, once you get the basic shape down, and really neat to watch come together. All you need to do is fold a sheet of green construction paper into a square. To do this, take one corner and bring it to the edge of the paper to form a triangle. Then, cut the excess. Voila, a square! Then cut strips, loop to the center and glue, then finish with colorful poms.
