Corrugated cardboard and some silver and/or gold spray paint together with beads, glitter and ribbon can make striking and original decorations for your Christmas tree.

You will need:
A sheet of corrugated cardboard
Pencil
Scissors
Spray paint
Glue
Glitter (optional)
Glass beads (optional)
Small decorative buttons (optional)

Draw stars, Christmas trees, moons, etc onto the cardboard then cut out the shapes. You might like to make the shapes in different sizes.

Spray them with the silver or gold paint – do this in a well ventilated room. Leave them to dry.

You can glue glass beads or pretty buttons to some of the shapes. You can also coat them with a thin clear paste and then sprinkle glitter on them.

Make a hole in the top of each shape and thread ribbon or thread through so you can hang them on the tree.
