This charming greeting arrives flat but easily transforms into a festive, 3-D holiday decoration, so it's a great gift as well. Our template makes creating the three-sided shape a cinch.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheets of card stock in green and red
Scissors Craft knife Hole punch Glue stick A6 (4 3/4- by 6 1/2) envelope | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: card stock | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Print our
template
or draw your own from the diagram here. (To create your own
template, first draw the center tree on a sheet of paper, leaving
room for the side trees. Fold your paper along one edge of the
tree and trace over the outline showing through to mark the edge
of one side tree. Repeat for the other side tree. Cut out the
template, including a tab at one edge.) |
| 2. | Use the template to trace and cut the triple tree from the green card stock and a 4 1/2-inch-tall, 3 3/4-inch-wide triangle from the red. Use a craft knife to cut a 1-inch slit along the outside edge of the trees, opposite the tab, as shown. |
| 3. |  Fold the card in thirds, then use a hole punch to make
holes through all 3 layers. |
| 4. | Open the card and glue on the triangle, then add your message. If you like, glue photos backed with colorful paper to the other 2 sides. |
