DIY Paper Treehouse HOW-TO
2. Color or decorate tree and house.
3. Cut slits along the upper point of the paper dowel. We cut approximately 1/3 of the way down the paper tube.
4. Make the tree by inserting the branches into the slits. Begin by inserting the large branch. Follow this large branch by inserting the smaller branches.
5. The last step is to color, fold and tape the paper Treehouse. Once this is complete, slide the paper Treehouse over the top of the paper tube.
Embellish as you’d like! Would you like a paper ladder, a climbing rope, curtains? The only limitation is imagination.
Even I have tree house dreams but, hammers, saws and nails are a real commitment and something I hope to make but, until then, I find myself getting right in there with with the kids. Have you noticed that once you’re interested in something, this pops up everywhere. I’m seeing tree houses absolutely everywhere and I love threading hunts for tree houses into our daily walks. I absolutely love thought provoking and conversation building projects, don’t you?
