Hey guys, this is Elf Mode Day 7, cardboard Christmas trees. You could paint them and make a bunch for a Christmas photo, or place them around your home. I got sheets of cardboard from Costco. For the bigger tree, I cut 2 boards at 17 1/2” x 23”. Then, I created a grid. I made 4 rows that were 5 3/4” apart and I made 10 columns that were 1 3/4” apart. Starting from the top, I made diagonal lines going from the top center to 2 columns out and 1 row down. Then, I made diagonal lines starting from 1 column in going to 2 columns out and 1 row down. I continued doing this until I reached the bottom. Next, I cut out the tree. Find the center. Then, make a slit, that’s the same thickness as the board, going from the center point to the bottom center of the cardboard. The cardboard that I used was 1/8” thick. Trace the tree onto another piece of cardboard. Make the slit starting from the center point going to the top center of the cardboard. Then, cut it out. I made a smaller tree with 2 boards that were 15” x 18”. I made 10 columns that were 1 1/2” apart and I made 4 rows that were 4 1/2” apart. I repeated the same steps I used to make the bigger tree. and your cardboard Christmas trees are done.
