Project Instructions

Using green paint, paint edges of foam core and let dry.

From paper pad, adhere two pieces green dot paper end to end to create a background 12"x24" and adhere to foam core.

Choose four additional coordinating patterned papers from the pad and trim six pieces from each, 1¾" square.

Trim 24 pieces red cardstock at 2" square and adhere all papers centered onto cardstock. Lay out squares to create a tree one row at a time. The best layout is as follows, starting from the bottom. Row one: 2 squares centered to create tree trunk. Row two: 5 squares. Rows three & four: 4 squares each. Rows five & six: 3 squares each. Row seven: 2 squares. Row eight: 1 square (top of tree).

Now BEFORE YOU ADHERE the squares, you will only adhere on the sides and bottom edges as you are creating a pocket for your gratitude messages.

Trim 14 white cardstock squares 1¼"x1½”.

Punch out 24 white cardstock tabs with tab punch. Adhere tab punches to smaller end of each white square.

Add red numbers to each tab #1 through #24 and slide tabs into pockets starting with #1 at the bottom and #24 at the top.

Randomly add additional embellishments to the boxes as you like.
