Bring out your white cardstock, some colorful gift wrappers or colorful papers, glitters, scissors, and glue. Get a white cardstock and cut a ring that will serve as the base of the wreath you will be doing. Then cut circles of different sizes out of those colorful gift wrappers or papers. You can cut seven large circles, seven medium circles, and seven small circles. Arrange the circles around your base. You can start by arranging and gluing the large circle first and then putting it in the medium circles. You can then fill in the gaps with the small circles. After you’ve created your wreath, you can then glue it in front of white cardstock. Then be creative and put some glitters to make your design more Christmasy.

Just cut five strips of tape, each one bigger than the last, and assemble to look like a Christmas tree in your white cardstock. You can add some accents like writing “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” using some calligraphy or glitter pen.
