Christmas Card Guide

This is a guide to shaped christmas cards and pop-ups. All that is used in this is paper, scissors, a pen, pencil and colouring pencils.

I made this instructable for the Homemade Holidays contest so please vote for it.

Step 1: Shaped Christmas Cards

To make a shaped christmas card:

1. Fold a piece of paper in half. You should use different sizes of paper depending on how big you want the finished card to be.

2. Cut out your design. I have used a christmas tree for mine. Be sure to leave at least 3 cm on the folded side otherwise it will fall apart. If you're using bigger paper then you'll need to more space.

3. Draw and/or colour however you want depending on what your design is.

Very simple and very beautiful cards. I made and showed to friends - very much it was pleasant to them.

Step 3 and 4 are missing the last step where you show how to attach a picture to the inside of the card. It was frustrating to me to follow the directions on both and then not be able to finish them. You need to add a final photograph or three showing how to attach the picture and also how to cover up the hole in the card.
