You will need:
12 Christmas cards
Scissors
A black pen
Glue (We used super glue, but school glue or double sided tape also work)
Templates- a 3'' circle, and a pentagon that fits inside it.
Pliers (Optional, but very useful if you are using super glue)

Use the circle template to draw around a pretty part of each card.

Cut the circles out. You will need twelve.
Decide which six will be on the top and which ones will be on the bottom.

On the backs of the circles, trace the pentagon template. For the pieces on the top, there needs to be a point at the bottom of the picture. For the top, it needs to be flat on the bottom. Fold on the lines as shown in the pictures.

Glue the pieces together. You should make two halves and then glue them together. If you are using super glue, pliers can be nice to pinch the tabs together.
