How to Make It
- Paint Your Christmas Tree
Start by painting the shape of your Christmas tree on your card.
You can freehand it, but using a stencil makes it super quick and gives you clean edges, which is perfect if you’re making a whole batch of cards.
Let the paint dry completely before moving to the next step. - Add Glue for the Garland
Using a squeeze bottle of glue or a fine-tip glue pen, draw curved lines across the tree to mimic garlands or strings of lights.
These lines will hold your glitter, so make them as minimal or dramatic as you’d like! - Add Rhinestones, Glitter & Embellishments
Now for the fun part!
While the glue is still tacky, sprinkle glitter on the glue lines. Add dots of glue and start placing your rhinestones. You can go full glam (like I did!) or keep it simple with just a few sparkles. The beauty of this craft is that every tree turns out unique.
Kids especially love this step, and the gems make it an easy project for little hands. - Add Your Greeting
Print out your holiday greeting on plain paper and glue it onto the card, or use a festive stamp.
This small detail really finishes the look and makes the card feel polished and intentional.
