Display the season's cards and photos by tucking them into this fleece-covered tree you can keep on a tabletop or hang on a wall.
| Prep Time: About 1 to 2 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Craft knife
Scissors 2 large pieces of corrugated cardboard, at least 26 by 26 inches 1 yard of green fleece fabric Hot-glue gun Ribbon Seed beads Star-shaped sequins (with holes) Straight pins Jewelry or other pliers Duct tape Stapler (optional) | |
| Seasons: Christmas, Winter | |
| Materials: craft knife, fleece | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Use a craft knife to cut the cardboard into 2 matching
triangles with a 26-inch base and height. Cut the fleece into 2
triangles as well, one the same size as the cardboard triangles
and the other about 2 inches longer on each side. Center the
smaller piece of fleece on the larger one, then stack the
cardboard triangles atop the fleece. |
| 2. |  Hot-glue the edges of the larger piece of fabric around the
cardboard, folding the corners as shown. |
| 3. |  Turn over the cardboard and crisscross strips of ribbon
across the front. Be sure to leave a few inches hanging over each
side so you can glue them to the back. |
| 4. | To secure the ribbons in place, slip a bead, followed by a sequin, onto a pin (one for each ribbon intersection), then push the pins through the front of the cardboard where the ribbons cross. |
| 5. |  Flip the board over again and use pliers to bend the end of
each pin against the cardboard (a parent's job), then cover each
pin with a square of duct tape. Now glue the ends of the ribbons
to the back of the triangle, and let the glue dry
completely. |
| 6. |  To display your card holder, lean it against a wall or
staple a loop of ribbon to the back for a hanger. |
