Simple Christmas Tree Card

How to make a quick and easy card.

you will need:

2 sheets of paper (letter size or A4)

1 pair of scissors

Tape (double sided recommended, but any scotch tape works)

Green marking implements (crayons, pencils, pens, highlighter, marker, etc)

Take one sheet of paper, and fold it in half by lining up the short sides.

Turn paper 90 degrees and fold in half again.

You should now have a card.

Set this aside.

draw three triangles on the second sheet of paper.

See below for approximate sizes (side, side, base)

Triangle 1 : 1.5” x 1.5” x 1.5”

Triangle 2 : 2” x 2” x 3”

Triangle 3 : 3” x 3” x 4”

using the green writing implements, color in the triangles.

To make it look like a pine tree, use long strokes that go from the top point down to the base.

To add depth, use 2-3 shades of green.

cut out the triangles by cutting the sides straight, and curving the bottom.

Grab the card we set aside a few steps ago.

Place the triangles on the card, with the largest at the bottom and the smallest on the top.

Trim as needed to make it look tree like. Once you’re happy with how it looks, go to the next step.

turn the triangles over.

Apply tape to the back of all three triangles. If using single sided tape, you will need to roll a piece so that you have a circle that is sticky all the way around before applying to the triangles.

take the tree pieces, and put the, tape side down on your card.

write your message inside.

You’re now done.

Go give your card to your special someone. Or whoever you need brownie points from.
