    If the paper used to make the tree is too thin, the tree might fall. It will also be harder to shape.

    What does heavy paper mean? Can I use chart paper?

    How do I make Christmas baubles?

    Use a hole punch to cut out small circles. Use salt dough - two parts flour to one part salt - and roll into tiny balls. Bake them in a low-heat oven, cool, then paint or cover them in PVA glue and glitter.
