Paper Chain Christmas Tree Card

I call this my “minimalist” tree card. Art stores like Michael’s have lots of pretty scrapbook paper these days; I prefer ones with a small scale print.
1. Cut strips of paper that are 5" long by 1/2 " wide and follow the folding and chaining technique that is demonstrated on my post “Paper Chains, Gum Wrapper Style”.
2. Fold and chain 6 links for the bottom row of the tree, 4 for the middle, 2 for the top and 1 for the trunk.
3. Arrange the chain segments as shown on a piece of white paper, about 5" x 7" and glue in place. Glue the white paper to a slightly larger colored paper for an accent.
