What to Do

Begin by cutting a triangle out of your green glitter cardstock.

Next, turn it over and hot glue your cinnamon stick to the back of your paper.

Now, attach your buttons (we used hot glue but school glue should work just fine too, especially if you are making this with younger children). If you do use hot glue, just be careful when pressing the buttons down as some of the hot glue may come through the button holes.

Miss 7 even attached a yellow button to the top of her cinnamon stick Christmas tree to represent a star. She also layered some of the buttons for extra interest. Such a simple yet fun craft! Perfect for Christmastime.
