DIY decorative christmas tree

I haven’t done a Christmas tree craft  in a long time, and this one was a lot of fun to make. I got all of my materials at Michael’s and it was less than $10. Oh, well, excluding the paint. I had that already. It was also easy to put together and took less than an hour. I hope you like it!

Holiday CardIt is amazing what scrapbook paper can do for you, in terms of design. This is one of the easiest Christmas cards that I’ve ever made. Some people don’t like the overt holiday cards with red and green decorations all over them, and I  have to agree. I like this one because it reminds me of the holidays but it isn’t an in-your-face design.

Pen
Pencil
Exacto knife
