Oh Christmas Tree

It's that time of year again. The presents are wrapped, the stockings are hung, and the festive holiday door has been created. A new classroom this year meant the need for a new holiday door idea. This idea came courtesy of Debbie's Resource Cupboard.  The best part about this door? It was SUPER easy. I mean, honestly, the most difficult/time consuming part was cutting all the paper strips.

Step 1: Cutting a bazillion green paper strips to make paper chains. Okay... maybe not a bazillion, but rather 162 to be more precise. The strips were 1 inch wide by 12 inches long.

Step 2: Create 9 paper chains that are each 18 links long. **Disclaimer** The adorable yorkie is not required, but who doesn't need a helper?

Step 3: Attach the paper chains to the door, staggering their heights slightly at the top. I used stikki-clips to attach each chain to the door, which work well since the chains are not very heavy. 

Step 4: Attach the red bow to the top of the tree. Most bows come with a twisty-tie attached to them. Use this to attach the bow to the top of your tree.

Step 5: Use brown paper to create a brown rectangle as the tree trunk.

Step 6: Put presents under the tree. I used several different colors of construction paper and our die-cut machine to create these presents.

Check out the finished product!

This Pinspired door decoration was definitely a treat!

Merry Christmas from room 137!
