Half-square Christmas trees
December 18, 2012 § 11 Comments
While I was digging through my scrap bins I found quite a few green half-square triangles. These Christmas cards seemed like a good way to use them up. And now I don’t feel like such a scrooge with our house all torn up over the holidays.
Details:
half-square triangles cut down to 2″
zig-zag stitched to white card stock (approx. 3 3/4″ x 5″)
gold star confetti glued to the top
whole thing glued to a half sheet of red card stock folded in half
Super sweet and a good use of scraps
Cute….
So cute – are you sending them out?
good lord, I just threw a bunch away this afternoon. Time to rummage through the trash.
I love this idea, Anita, thanks! I had an idea to use printed paper, punch out a triangle and then let the paper show through. But that would involve buying a punch. This is so much better b/c I can use my scraps and the card stock I have on hand. Did you fuse the triangles to the card stock before you zigzagged?
I’ll have to save this for next year, since I actually managed to get my cards out today, with help from my hubby. Woohoo…I’m crossing things off my to-do list
I love it, I am copying you…..
this came at the perfect time! i made some up tonite and am shipping them out tomorrow!
Clever!
very cure, now I need to go buy some great fun greens to do this too!
would be fun making my own cards through out the year to use next year. smaller version for gift tags???
