Paper christmas tree
 

My other son had to make a christmas decoration out of rubbish too so he made a christmas tree out of all the news letters that were sent home since September. He just folded them all at an angle, stuck it to card so it could stand up and decorated it with beads and furry cord. Some of the beads were from an old pair of flip flops that I threw out. (Before I throw anything away I check it to see if anything can be re-used.)
He won a prize for this.
Thanks for looking,

That's amazing! No wonder he won first prize. He is a lateral thinker!

Thank you for your lovely comments unapam.
Kind regards,
