How to make a Christmas tree Christmas card
1. To form the base of our card, we are going to 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. Place the ruler on the card, make 5 holes, starting from the 5 cm margin and with 1 cm. of separation between each one. Do the same on the other side, to be able to pass the ropes and be straight.
3. Cut five pieces of strings of different colors. With the help of a needle, pass the strings through the holes in the card, so that they remain in five parallel lines. Hold with heat, cut the remaining ends, and if you want, reinforce with a piece of cardboard greased with glue.
4. Cut out five rectangles (you can give them shapes with the punch or scissors) and write 'MERRY' in red, one letter in each rectangle. On the bottom of the green card write 'CHRISTMAS', to complete the congratulation.
5. Hang the white cardboard rectangles with the letters on the strings, using small colored clips. Place them at different heights, however you like.
6. You already have your Christmas card! Remember that you can use the same design to write the message that you like the most.
