Instructions
  1. Use the craft scissors to cut a number of 1/2-inch-wide strips from the green paper. Then use regular scissors to cut a small tree trunk for each card.

  2. To assemble each tree, first glue the trunk onto a card. Working from the bottom up, trim and glue on the green strips, cutting each as you go so it's shorter than the previous one. Trim the last strip to form a triangular tip. Top the tree with a sticker star.
