With this easy craft, every kid can have their very own christmas tree.\u00a0 Best of all, it really lights up with the help of battery-operated LED fairy lights. As you can see below, it\u2019s amazing! They would make great Christmas night lights for little ones and are fun for everyone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

THINGS YOU NEED<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

Green craft foam, plastic cup, battery operated LED lights, craft foam stars, scissors, masking tape, template, skewer, decorations for your tree (jewels, sequins, buttons etc).<\/p>\n

HOW TO MAKE<\/h4>\n

1. Download <\/a>and print out the pattern and tape it onto your sheet of green craft foam. \u00a0Use it as a template to cut out the cone shape.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Poke holes through the cone with a strong skewer \u2014 one for each of your lights.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Turn the cone over and poke each of the bulbs through a hole.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0We decorated one of our trees with a bead garland. To make this easy, poke a hole and thread it though the top of your tree because it is difficult once the tree is assembled.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Now add some\u00a0craft glue along one edge and join the two sides together to form a cone. Hold it until the glue sets or use a little masking tape to hold it together until it dries.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Place your battery pack and any extra cord inside the plastic cup and sit\u00a0your cone over the top.<\/p>\n

7. Add your stars to the top (one on each side with the sticky sides together).<\/p>\n

8. You can decorate it however you wish \u2014 keep it plain or go crazy with the decorations\u00a0like jewels or sequins, shapes cut from craft foam.<\/p>\n
