Hot glue gun

Red or green bow
Red, dark and light green construction paper

Take the green construction paper and cut out the shape of a christmas tree. Place this to the side for later.
Cut 26 red rectangles and 26 light green rectangles, approximately 6 inches long and 3 inches wide out of construction paper.
Set these aside for later.
Cut a Christmas tree-shape out of the dark green construction paper.
Glue a small red bow to the top of the tree and pom poms along the body of the tree.
Loop a red ribbon and glue it to the back of the tree at the top.
Take a red rectangle and glue both ends together to form a ring.
Loop a green rectangle through the red ring and glue the ends of the green rectangle together to form its own loop (in paper chain fashion).
Glue the first red and green paper chain loop to the back of the tree at the bottom.
Write the words, “Days ’til Christmas” on the light green loop.
Repeat these steps for the rest of the rectangles, alternating the colors each time as desired.
After completing the paper chain write the numbers 1 through 25.
Hang on your tree or wherever desired.
Tear off the first loop (number 25) on Dec. 1 to begin your countdown to Christmas.
