Tinsel Tree Card
This sweet Christmas card is constructed from ordinary materials and is easy to make. Simple green triangles are layered to form the tree, and just a few pompoms, a star, and a single strand of tinsel adorn this evergreen.
Supplies & Tools:
- Printable template (download here)
- 1 sheet white cardstock
- 1 sheet green construction paper
- Red tinsel
- Mini red pompoms
- Yellow craft foam
- Glue runner
- Hot glue gun & glue sticks
- Toothpick
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Optional: glitter glue
Directions:
- Print the template and stack on top of green construction paper. Cutting through both sheets of paper, cut out triangles. Discard the template and set the green triangles aside.
- Measure and cut an 8" x 6" piece of white cardstock.
- Fold cardstock in half, forming a 4" x 6" card.
- Take green triangles and paste onto front of card using the glue runner. First glue the largest one at the bottom, and continue gluing each smaller triangle on top.
- Add the red tinsel: Take a toothpick and get a little bit of glue from the hot glue gun and immediately glue one end of tinsel near the top of the tree. Continue gluing in a zigzag pattern down the tree. Cut excess tinsel.
- Add pompoms: Use hot glue to add a pompom at each “corner” of the tinsel.
- Cut out a small star from yellow craft foam and glue to the top of the tree.
- If desired, add a little bit of glitter glue to the star to make it sparkle. Allow to dry.
- Now your card is complete!
Elfy Hint:
- Typically, a 4" x 6" card would fit in an A4 envelope, but because of the pompoms, you may want to put this card into a larger envelope like this A6 envelope at envelopes.com.
