Keep reading for all the details, and be sure to grab the free download at the bottom of this post if you need it!
You will need:
Christmas tree (you can make a felt one, get one from the dollar store, or download the free printable at the bottom of this post)
Tiny presents (find them on Amazon here, or at your local dollar store)
Pompoms (like these)
Other tiny ornaments or decorations as desired (we like these mini ornaments and mini gingerbread men from Amazon, but your local dollar tree or craft store should have lots of options around the holidays!)
