In order to give the children a real holiday, they don’t need much; parents simply need to take a pack of cotton pads, a sheet of white cardboard and be patient.
In addition, for crafts will need:
- Scissors.

We install a cone in the center of the working space and begin to produce clothes for the Christmas tree. To do this, bend the cotton pad in half, then fold it in the shape of a cone, connecting the sharp ends with each other. We fasten the base of the cotton cone with a stapler.
We glue the largest bead to the top of the resulting Christmas tree. The rest of the beads decorate all the Christmas tree.
