SCRAPPY X'MAS TREES
A friend and I agreed to exchange hand-made Christmas cards
instead of e-greeting cards.
We found blank postcards and decided to use them.

I filled the blank space on the postcard
with x'mas trees
using scrap fabric and
double-sided tape.
Paste the tape on the back of the fabric.
Then cut
out triangle shapes,
remove the tape backing and stick them on the
postcard.
Stripe fabric work as trunks and
a rummage through the scrap bin yielded a few stars.
(As I type this, I realised stars fit in with the "Space" theme too.)

This was fast – and fun - to make!
I think this would be a great craft project with kids.

What a great idea and family fun! It turned out really pretty and it is a wonderful thing for your friend to keep and set out as a little decoration year after year. I keep things like this and do it myself, my friend of almost 30 years laughs at me (but told me once how fun it was to see things we made together all those years ago come out at Christmas) brings back happy memories! Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteThis is one I can do with the family. The six year old has a love of all things sellotaped so it's bound to be a hit :)

ReplyDeleteThese are so simple but so very effective. A lovely idea to swap handmade cards with friends that appreciate them.
