INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Print the tree onto a piece of paper or cardstock and cut out around the shape.
Step 2: Glue the tree onto a thick card (I used foam board) and cut around the tree again.
Step 3: Cut a triangle out of your foam board or cardboard to use as the support of the tree
and glue the triangle support on to the back of the tree.
Step 4: Make several pompoms with red wool and tie them up with a brown yarn.
Step 5: Tie the cherries into pairs and glue the leaves onto the cherries. You can gather some pins, or use washi tape to secure
the cherries and the little notes to the tree!
