Step by step instructions

If you don’t have a card, you can easily make one from a sheet of cardboard (A4 / letter size).

For younger children, simply fold the paper in half to make one large card. For older children, fold the paper in half, cut, and fold again to make two card bases.

Let’s create a background for our tree. This will make the card look nicer because it will have a “frame”.

Place a sheet of white (or any other color) paper on top of the card. Cut around, using the card as a template for the rectangle.

Cut the edges of the rectangle so that it is smaller than the card, glue the back and glue the rectangle paper onto the card.

Next, cut triangles out of green paper.

They can all be the same size or you can make one smaller (the one that will be at the top of the tree).

Take the first triangle, hold it by the top and start cutting lines into the paper. First cut one line on the left side and one line on the right side of the triangle.

Cut the strips of paper as thin as possible. Do not cut all the way through.

Repeat with the remaining two triangles.

Bend the paper slightly by running it around your finger (or pencil if that’s easier).

Cut out a brown rectangle and glue it onto the card.

Apply glue to the top of the triangle you cut…

…and stick it on the card.

Glue the remaining two pieces on top of the first piece.

If you want to decorate your tree a little, cut out a star shape and glue it to the top of the tree.

Done! Now you know how to make a paper Christmas tree card.
