With the proud snowman you've learnt to make from part 2 and 3 of my outdoor Xmas decorations tips, your yard must be looking pretty impressive and ready for the approaching Christmas.
Before you get too contented, hold a little as there is one last thing you can do to complete your outdoor Christmas decoration: a Christmas tree! Although you've probably planned for your real Christmas tree to stay indoors, you can still use a little imagination to craft a DIY tree for outdoor placement.
Alternatively, you can simply purchase another bigger tree in your yard so your snowman won't look too lonely.
Either way, it's a great sight to see snowflakes on a Christmas tree outdoors.
There are various methods to craft a simple DIY Christmas tree that you can find on various art manuals or even online sites.
But for simplicity's sake, here is a really easy way to do one.
Buy a pack of extra hard construction paper or cardboard.
Stack 2 sheets together and using a thick pencil, draw out a simple Christmas tree shape.
If you are a perfectionist and want symmetrical sides, you can easily fold the cardboard in one stack and draw one half of a tree instead.
Either way, use a penknife to cut neatly along your marked lines.
Once done, you should now have two tree-shaped cardboards that are identical in dimensions.
The next step is to assemble them.
This is simple if you use the snowman method I mentioned earlier.
All you have to do here is to cut a small slotting space from the top of one board, and another identical slot from the bottom of the second board.
After completion, you can fit the two together with ease and form a 3D tree! From here on, I'll leave you to decide on your tree's design and decorations.
Let your creativity run free and see what you can come up with!
