How to make a Christmas card with decoration balls

1. To form the base of our card, we will cut a rectangle of 15 x 30 cm. and fold it in half. We will have thus, a double card of 15 x 15 cm.

2. On the back of the foam with glitter, draw with a template two circles to make the balls, and also the pieces on the top. Keep an eye on the size so they fit on the cardboard.

3. With a pair of scissors or a cutter, cut out the pieces carefully.

4. Put some glue on the pieces and glue them on one side of the cardboard, at different heights. Press a little to make them stick together.

5. With a gold marker, draw the 'string' from which the ball hangs. You can use different designs, we have chosen a dashed line to make it more original, topped with a ribbon.

6. Write your congratulatory message with a black marker on the part of the card where the balls are not. You can use silicone stamps with letters, if you have them. And you already have your postcard !.
