How to Make the Christmas Car Papercraft

Step 1:

Select red, white, black, and gray craft paper for the car craft. Select green-colored craft paper for the Christmas tree.

Cut out the traced patterns nicely.

Step 2:

Stick the small white circles in the center of the big black circle cutouts. Use a pen to draw a small dot in the center of the white circle. Or you can draw any other pattern as you like for the paper wheels.

Step 3:

Stick the gray strip along the bottom straight end of the car base.

Step 4:

Stick the half-circle cutout within the top half-circle part of the car base.

Step 5:

Stick the small oval-shaped piece (front light of the paper car) to the front side of the car base. Attach the paper wheels along the bottom side of the car.

Step 6:

Attach both paper wheels to complete the paper car craft. Use a pen to draw outlines of the car window (half circle).

How to Make Your Christmas Tree Truck

Step 1:

Select red, gray, white, green, and brown craft paper. Trace the truck and half-circular patterns on the red papers. Trace the 4 strips on the brown paper and the square window on gray paper. Trace the wheel patterns (4 round shapes of 2 sizes) on gray and white paper.

Step 2:

Stick the window square cut-out on the front side of the truck pattern.

Step 3:

Stick the small round cutouts in the center of the big round cutouts to craft the wheels.

Step 4:

Place the longer strip on a flat surface horizontally. Stick the 3 short strips on the long one vertically, making sure to keep even gaps between the 3 short strips.

Step 5:

Stick any one of the half-circular patterns on the bottom side of the truck pattern. Stick any one of the round wheel patterns near the bottom side of the half-circular pattern. Similarly, attach the other wheel.

Step 6:

Flip the truck pattern to the other side. Stick the brown strip pattern on the top-back side of the truck pattern. Apply glue on both sides and the bottom side of the truck’s backside.

Step 7:

Place the rectangle piece on the glued part, keeping the op side intact (open).

Step 8:

Flip the truck papercraft to the right side.

Step 9:

Trace and cut out a tree pattern from green paper. Insert the tree into the back pocket of your truck papercraft. And there you have it! A cute Christmas tree truck!
