Christmas Tree – paper cones
Dilys Braithwaite,Teacher Librarian at Saint Kentigern College Boys’ School made this display for her Library. She used green A4 paper rolled into cones. ‘You have to cut the paper into squares and staple them at the seam”, she commented. She used her own train track for the track around the trunk. Kids can’t keep their hands off of it..
