Advent TP Christmas Tree

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

A fun way to count down the days until Christmas. Make this advent Christmas tree using toilet tissue or paper towel rolls.

Materials:

  • Posterboard or Cardboard
  • 12 Toilet Paper Rolls
  • Paint
  • Glue

Instructions:
Cut each toilet paper roll in half so you have 24 circles that are about 2 inches tall. Paint each circle green.

Once the paint is dry, glue them onto the posterboard into the shape of the Christmas tree below.

Once the glue is dry, trim the posterboard around to toilet tissue rolls, into the shape of a Christmas tree. Place a small candy or other treat into each circle. Starting on December 1st, take out one piece of candy or treat per day to help you count down every day until Christmas!
