Total Time: 30 minutes

5. Cut the top part of the 1.1" piece into a triangular shape.

 
6. Starting with the biggest strip, glue the seven strips to the front of the card to simulate a pine-tree. Glue the second strip directly above the first one, then the third, then the fourth, etc., until the "tree" has been completed.

 

 

 
7. Add the star to the top of the tree.

 
8. Add a strip of fabric tape to the top of the card and cut off any protruding edges. Use another piece of fabric tape to add a tree branch.
