The work will be carried out in the form of a paper tree, folded from a colored sheet and decorated with small details. To perform this, you will need the following:

• Green colored paper (preferably two-sided).
• Stencil Christmas tree.
• Pencil.
• Scissors.
• Colored ornaments.
• Glue.

The work will go like this:

1. Take a sheet of paper and put a stencil on it.
2. Circle the contour with a pencil.
3. Cut out the workpiece with scissors.
4. If the paper or cardboard was prepared one-sided, put the tree in front of you so that the green part becomes the front for the postcard, and the white one is inside.
5. Draw along the ruler guides for future fold lines.
6. If the cardboard is tight, it is better to preliminarily draw along the lines with the edge of the back of the pencil, the corner of the ruler or the pointed tip of the scissors. This will help to accurately and smoothly execute the fold line.
7. Bend the workpiece along the prepared lines.
8. Proceed to decorate the surface of the Christmas tree. For convenience, arrange the pattern again on the plane. In this case, the fold lines will be clearly visible, the child will no longer adorn the decorations on them.
9. Decor can be suggested to cut out of colored paper yourself if there are appropriate tools. For this purpose, scissors with shaped edges and figured punchers in the form of snowflakes are perfect. The main thing is to use thin paper so that the child does not have to put a lot of effort into getting ornaments. Be sure to explain where the sheet is put. Even a 2-year-old will be happy to stamp stars and snowflakes.
10. If there are no curly punchers, use the usual one. You will get colored circles, from which it is easy to assemble beads or paste as New Year's balls on your Christmas tree-postcard.
11. When the décor is ready, proceed with the gluing. If the circles, asterisks and snowflakes are not made of self-adhesive paper, apply PVA glue to the substrate and attach decorative details.

When the glue dries, the card will be ready.
