Directions:
- If you don’t have premade cards – be sure to make your cards first. Just fold your cardstock paper and trim down to the desired size of your card.
- Then for a more decorative look, take a single sheet of white cardstock and trim it down a bit, to fit on the front of the card. Use a glue stick to adhere your white piece of paper to the card front.
- Now it’s time to make your tree! Start by grabbing all your washi tape and tearing off one by one, a piece of tape and laying them down on your card front, to look like a Christmas tree. Your pieces will get smaller as the tree goes up. Think of it as a triangle or a bowling pin formation.
- Once your Christmas tree is done, grab your brown Sharpie marker and draw on a small rectangle “stump” on the bottom of the tree.
- To finish off your card, use a glue dot to adhere the bow to the top of the tree.
- Then add your personalized message inside and mail/gift away!
