Instructions:
Use the picture for placement and size purposes.
1. Cut out a piece the piece of fabric measuring 5 x12 cm and fringe the edges about 5-7 mm. This is done by pulling the strings of each even weave row on all sides.
2. Place a piece of the 2-sided sticky tape on the backside of the fabric and stick to the middle of the card.
3. Cut the tree out and outline the edges to look like stitches with the gel pen.
4. Tear evenly or cut the message out that is printed on the vellum. Leave some space for the eyelet.
5. Lay the vellum on the tree and punch a hole through both the vellum and tree and secure the vellum using an eyelet.
6. Cut about 2 cm away from the right edge using the decorative edged scissors.
7. Glue the silver strip of paper behind the right edge and cut about a 5mm edge also using the scissors.
8. Using the 2-sided sticky tape, stick the tree onto the card.
9. Cut a small piece of the 2-sided sticky tape and place it on the back of the star and stick it on the top of the Christmas tree.
