Printer paper
Scissors
Pencil
2 brown lunch sacks
Cardboard
Crafts knife
Paintbrush
Silver paint
Thick white crafts glue

Parchment paper or waxed paper
To make a tree pattern, fold the piece of printer paper in half. Using the fold as the tree center, cut a simple tree shape, smaller than the front of the paper bag.
Open the pattern and place it in the center of the bag. Trace around the pattern on the front of the sack, tracing only the right side. Place cardboard in sack. Using a crafts knife, cut along line and fold back.
Cut a whole tree shape from another bag. Paint one side silver; let dry. Fold in half. Glue fold to center of tree on bag. Glue silver paper behind opening. Let glue dry.
Draw a horizontal 1 x 3-inch rectangle at the tree base. Color in with gold marker. Cut out three 1/4 x 1-inch pieces from extra bag. Glue pieces vertically on gold rectangle as shown in picture. Let glue dry.
Outline the outside edge of the tree shape using a gold marker. Add star stickers where desired. Line bag with parchment paper or waxed paper.
