- Glitzerkarton
- Scissors
- White glue
- Glitter
Instructions:
- Fold the sheets of colored cardstock in half to create the base for the greeting card. Then cut out simple triangles and squares from the glitter cardstock to create the Christmas tree motif.
- Using white glue, trace a border around the edge of the card front. Then spread the glue with a brush.
- Use the white glue to put dots on the tree.
- While the glue is still wet, sprinkle the card with glitter.
- To prevent the glitter from spreading everywhere, you should work on a tray or in the lid of a shoebox. This will catch the excess glitter and you can tip it back into the pack at the end.
- Flip the card over to shake off the excess glitter and lay it flat to dry, which will take at least a few hours.
