All the magic and wonder of a real Christmas tree…with no falling needles, dangerous wires, or electricity! In a snap, using this all-inclusive kit, anyone can create a beautiful and festive celebration, all out of paper. It’s perfect for anywhere—a child’s room, the kitchen—and a fun way for anyone to ignite the holiday spirit.

The 80-page, full-colour Christmasmania! book includes ten lively Christmas carols, a tasty recipe for eggnog, directions for folding five origami ornaments (a candy cane, Santa’s hat, cross, bow, and star) and instructions for assembling the kit’s centrepiece: the almost two foot tall Christmas tree.

And for more decorative holiday cheer, there are 24 foil boughs, 25 glittery foil ornaments, one spool of silver thread,  one gold foil star tree topper, 20 sheets of 6 x 6 origami paper in four vibrant patterns, and a green-flocked box that doubles as a tree stand. Everything’s cut out and ready to go; all you have to do is make merry!

WHAT WE THOUGHT

Christmas wouldn’t be the same without a tree, and setting it up is one of the most exciting rituals for families.

If you are looking for a unique tree idea, “Christmas Tree in a Box” is the perfect choice. This cardboard tree is easy to assemble, and the finished product is almost 2 feet tall. This makes it the ideal solution for use in limited space, at the office or for those with pets who like to ruin the traditional tree.

It comes complete with decorations and even a golden star which takes pride of place on the top of your tree. The box includes origami papers and instructions for additional decorations.

The pack comes with everything you need for assembly, no glue or tape required. A fun Christmas project and the finish product looks gorgeous, and even the most uncrafty person will be able to put it together.
