Material preparation: a large colored cardboard (as trunk), some small colored cardboard (as leaves), glue or double-sided tape, scissors, marker or marker.

1. Fold a large piece of colored cardboard into a triangle and cut the bottom flat to make a suitcase. You can fold the cardboard into an equilateral triangle and then cut it flat from the bottom to form the basic shape of the trunk. In order to make the trunk more beautiful, you can draw some textures or patterns on the cardboard, such as tree lines and lines, to increase the three-dimensional sense and realism.

2. Cut out leaves of various shapes, such as hearts and stars, with small colored cardboard. You can choose the color and pattern of cardboard according to your own preferences. When cutting leaves, you can first fold the cardboard into small triangles or diamonds, and then open it to form a simple leaf shape. If you want to make the leaves more diversified, you can cut out leaves of different shapes with cardboard of different colors and patterns.

3. Write down the name of the person to thank or the words of thanks to the grateful person on the leaves. You can choose to write short and warm words with marker or marker to express your gratitude to your relatives and friends. You can also draw some small patterns or decorations on the leaves to increase the aesthetic feeling.

4. Stick the leaves on the trunk with glue or double-sided tape. You can choose to paste in a certain order or paste randomly to make the tree look more natural. Pay attention to the layout and layering of leaves when pasting to make the tree look more real and vivid.

5. You can add some other decorations to the tree, such as small candies and pendants, to make the tree more lively and interesting. You can also add some pebbles or flowers under the tree to increase the aesthetic feeling.

6. Put the Thanksgiving tree in a conspicuous position at home, or give it to relatives and friends to express gratitude. You can choose a suitable container or bracket to place the Thanksgiving tree and make it a beautiful ornament in your home or office.
