Then I wasn't sure what to do with our little army of trees. At first I was going to turn them into a garland of some sort, but then realized that they would make for a really simple and modern take on a DIY Christmas Advent Calendar!

Although Chuck currently isn't really into painting, he IS into stickers.... which is great because I have a ton of cute circle stickers lying around from our twisty snake craft.
Here's how we made our trees!
First I cut out a bunch of triangles (from different shades of green) and rectangles (from different shades of brown.) Then, Chuck and I got to sticking circle stickers on them. Then, I taped the tops and bottoms of the trees together.
Since the trees were so easy to make, we soon found ourselves with a small army of them.
On the back of each tree, I wrote (using this marker) a fun Christmas activity that we would do together. (Not sure if making smores is exactly Christmasy--- but I really wanted to make some and eat them. Yummy.)
We're going to hang these trees up on the wall with tape. Then each day Chuck can just pull a tree down to reveal a fun activity, craft, or toy.
Aren't they beautiful? This was definitely a SUPER EASY and beautiful craft. Hope you have fun trying it out too!
