DIY Sticker Trees for Christmas

DIY Sticker Trees for Christmas | Linzer Lane Blog

This Christmas my husband and I are living in a New York City sublet and couldn't bring our hundreds of decorations with us, I didn't want to buy anything too large to decorate with - so I was quite happy to find a tiny, tabletop Christmas tree at the dollar store;)

To make your own cute 'sticker tree', all you need are some cute stickers (preferably similar to these sturdy plastic bubble types from Flyer Tiger).

Using a glue gun, attach one sticker to the end of each tree branch like so:

 One sheet should be enough to cover the whole tree fairly nicely. Don't forget to add one nice ornament to the top for a finishing touch.

I used a little coffee filter as a snow skirt and added some of my paper and clay characters below to add some cheer under the tree ;)

Display all your gifts next to the tree for a super festive  look perfect for any small space or apartment dwelling. Add tinsel and lights to complete the look!
