Step 1. I drew a Christmas tree on the cardboard, ensuring it fits your cutouts.
Mine measures 12" h x 11"w, but you can adjust the size.
Step 2. I exposed some of the cardboard's ripples by peeling away some paper, leaving a rustic look.
Step 3. I dry brushed green on be mindful not to use too much paint, allowing the cardboard to show through.
Step 4. Then I dry brushed the white . I also added a little brown on the trunk Be mindful once again to not use too much paint, allowing the cardboard to show through. That's what adds its charm!
Here's the paints I chose to use .

Step 5. I glued my words on . I picked them up at Family Dollar for $1.25 each .

Step 6. I added a little bow and some artificial greenery and added a rusty bell that I had on hand .
