I adore these new punches coming out! and set myself a little “Christmas Tree” project straight away.

1. Punch out 8 squares of assorted backing papers using the large squeeze punch.

2. Fold each square as follows, (I have drawn the lines in pen to enable you all to see a little easier where each fold is)
Fold from corner to corner making sharp creases to enable easy folding.

3. Then fold from side to side.

4. Patterned side up, tuck sides in to form a diamond shape.

5. Tuck front flaps back to create a smaller diamond.

6. Start assembling and linking all pieces together (use a wet glue, applying it to each right flap).

7. Add glitter to decorate and attach a piece of gold thread through the middle.

8. Finish by adding a small jewel to the middle and hang on your Christmas tree for all to admire.

    That’s beautiful. Once I’ve got my Xmas cards finished, they’re made but need signing etc. I shall make some of these.
