    Kid craft expert Cristy Feke demonstrates how to make a fun, unique tree using packing paper (figure A).

    Materials:

    Packing paper
    Glue
    Construction paper
    Corkboard or foam-core board
    Personal photographs and original artwork

    1. Start out by twisting the packing paper from the ends to the center (figure B).

    2. Glue the twisted paper to the center of the foam board to create the trunk of the tree.

    3. Attach additional twisted pieces of the packing paper along the trunk to form the limbs (figure C).

    4. Paint leaves directly onto background or glue construction-paper leaves to the tree.

    5. As a variation on this project, use family photos to create a unique family tree, or add colorful artwork.
