Materials

  • 1 green cardstock sheet (A5 size)
  • Glue stick or craft glue
  • Scissors or tearing ruler
  • 1 vintage or printed music sheet (A4 size)
  • 1 gold star sticker or gold marker
  • White gel pen or silver calligraphy pen for lettering
  • Optional: glitter for decoration

Instructions

  • Cut or tear the music sheet into six to seven strips, each slightly shorter than the one below it. These will form the layers of your Christmas tree.
  • Arrange the strips from longest to shortest on the center of the green cardstock. Once you’re happy with the shape, glue each strip in place, starting from the bottom and moving upward to create a tapered tree silhouette.
  • Add a gold star at the top of the tree using a sticker or by drawing one with a gold pen. If desired, lightly brush glue on the edges of the paper and sprinkle a bit of glitter for a soft shimmer.
  • Write your greeting beneath the tree, such as “Merry Christmas” or “Frohes Fest” (German for “Happy Holidays”), using a white or silver pen.
  • Let the card dry completely before gifting or mailing it.
