How to Make Paper Cutout Tree Crafts

Step 1: Choose your tree and shape: Pick one tree template and one shape you want (hearts, butterflies, leaves, or flowers).

Step 2: Print the templates: Print the tree template on a white sheet. Print the chosen shape on colored paper. Tip: If you don’t have a template, draw the shapes directly on colored paper.

Step 3: Cut out the shapes: Cut them out separately. There’s no need to cut out the tree template itself.

Step 4: Prepare the tree base: Take the printed tree image on paper and get your glue ready.

Step 5: Paste the shapes: Paste the cut‑out shapes onto the tree branches. They will look like colorful leaves or decorations.
