cardboard christmas trees are my fave

you are my fave: cardboard christmas trees
Here’s an idea for trees you don’t have to water or put a fence around so your kids don’t break the ornaments.

To make your own you’ll need:
- cardboard (I used a science fair display board)
- razor blade
- mini lights

Step One: Trace triangles onto cardboard.
Step Two: Carefully cut triangles out with razor blade.

Step Three: With razor blade or scissors, make holes  just big enough for lights to fit through.
Step Four: Stick lights through holes, plug in and be dazzled.
