You can call me “Ms Last Minute” from now on because that’s the way we do things around here lately. I want to share how I made this ‘last minute’ fabric scrap Christmas tree card.
I’ve always got the kids to make their teacher’s a Christmas card. Just a piece of A4 card stock folded in half with some kind of drawing or collage pasted on. I’m ‘pretty’ organised around this time of year and usually have done this but not last week. Boy, last week of school and I kept saying to the kids, “we’ve got to make those Christmas cards, we’ve got to make those Christmas cards”. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, they were made at around 8pm the night before the final day of school.
This is such an easy project. Choose whatever fabric scraps you have. I think the more colourful, the better. I just stuck with green because I wanted it to look like a Christmas tree. If we would’ve done it earlier, I would’ve let the kids pick their own colours. I just grabbed a few pieces of green fabric, ripped it into strips and then the kids pasted it onto a sheet of A4 paper. Once it was dry, cut into a triangle shape, top with a star sticker, button or brad and its done.
Just remember, if you’re like me, use fast drying glue! (The teachers loved them. The cards had that look of “boy, you put a lot of work into this”. If only they knew.)
