  Step 1

  Take a small piece of paper and fold it in half. Draw half a Christmas tree shape on one half.

• 

  Step 2

  Take a pin and pierce throw the middle point at the very top of the tree (where the star would be), making sure to go through both bits of paper.

• 

  Step 3

  Continue to pierce along the outline of the tree, at the points and mid-way down each branch.

• 

  Step 4

  Open the paper up and your tree pattern should be on both sides. Take your card and position your tree paper template on it.

• 

  Step 5

  Now use your pin to pierce around the tree outline and through the card this time.

• 

  Step 6

  You should be left with a pricked outline of tree on your card.

• 

  Step 7

  Now take a needle and thread it with green thread.

• 

  Step 8

  Come through the top hole of the tree, from the back, leaving a tale of a few inches.

• 

  Step 9

  Go down through the second hole, around the back and up through the 3rd hole.

• 

  Step 10

  Continue this, going down, around and up, but add a seed bead when you come to a point on a branch.

• 

  Step 11

  Continue this until you have stitched around the tree outline once.

• 

  Step 12

  Now stitch around again, this time you should be stitching the opposite, so that you're filling in the gabs between your previous stitches.

• 

  Step 13

  Stitch around the outline again and end by bringing the thread though to the front.

• 

  Step 14

  Now take a star shaped sequin or bead and thread it on to the card, stitch back through it and take the thread to the back of the card.

• 

  Step 15

  Tie the thread and the tail together, so that the stitches are secured tightly in place.

• 

  Step 16

  Cut off any loose thread and voila! Merry Christmas.
