Christmas templates – make your own Christmas tree
Now it’s time for making Christmas decorations!
In Danish schools, there is a tradition called a “cut-glue day” (klippe-klistre dag).
At the beginning of December, children make Christmas decorations for their classrooms and the school.
Most people in Denmark have taken part in “klippe-klistre” day, either in the children’s institution, school or at work.
Hopefully, you have the tradition that I think is the nicest one, where you are making Christmas decorations with family and friends.
You can go directly to the free Christmas trees pdf files to print or read on.
Find den danske udgave her.
I’ve made some free templates to use on those occasions – most of the instructions are in Danish – but everybody can use the templates you find here.
The most uncomplicated templates are these Christmas trees with a hole in the middle.
There are 3 different trees coloured green or white, with optional decoration for the hole in the middle.
If you are going to make your own Christmas decorations, you can also find templates and ideas in English:
- How to make a Froebel star – a classic Danish Christmas decoration
- The paper cone – a Danish Christmas decoration
- Pleated Christmas hearts – Danish Christmas hearts
In Denmark, we eat aebleskiver and drink gløgg – when we make the decorations at home…
At school, the students get aebleskiver or Christmas cookies – no alcohol for them.

You do not have to cut a hole in the middle of the Christmas tree.
You can make the trees in different colours of paper or cardboard.
Make a decorative Christmas tree with ornaments, or place the trees in small groups in the window – decorate them with snow, glitter, or other Christmas decorations.
