As well as doing arts and crafts activities with my
\nchildren, I also love to make and create things on my own, especially at this
\ntime of year. I\u2019m busy planning my Christmas baking and sewing projects at the
\nmoment, some of which I will be sharing with you all here. I really want to
\ntackle a Gingerbread House this year and I have bought some fabric ready to
\nmake some Christmas bunting. I also enjoy making my own greetings cards. I
\ncertainly don\u2019t get chance to make all of the cards that I need for family and
\nfriends throughout the year, but I do like to make the extra effort at
\nChristmas.\u00a0 <\/span>I keep my Christmas card
\ndesigns simple and achievable, so that I can fit making them in as and when I
\nget a few minutes to myself. Here\u2019s what I have been working on so far this
\nyear.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How to make a simple Fabric Christmas Tree card<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 1<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cut out a template for the tree using tracing paper.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 2\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pin your template onto some fabric and cut out using fabric
\nscissors.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 3<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Glue the fabric tree onto a blank card.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 4 <\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Glue a bell onto the top of the tree or use a star sticker.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 5 <\/b><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Attach a seasonal greeting. I used pieces of ribbon with
\n\u201cMerry Christmas\u201d written through it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You can then vary this basic design to make a \u201cTrio of
\nChristmas trees\u201d just by using a smaller template and another type of fabric to
\nprovide a contrast.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThis is a very simple card idea and if you did want to get your kids involved as well, you could cut out a few extra tree’s for them to glue onto some cards as well.Here are a few more ideas as well for creating simple Christmas cards with Christmas Tree decorations.<\/p>\n

Over at In the Madhouse<\/a> they have a lovely craft using ribbons stuck onto a a card in the shape of a Christmas Tree.<\/p>\n

This is another great idea using ribbons, why not stick this gorgeous Stick Ribbon Tree ornament <\/a>from over at Fireflies and Mudpies onto the front of a card?<\/p>\n

Buttons are great for Christmas Trees as well. Check out these cute ideas over at iLovetoCreate<\/a><\/p>\n
