I took one sheet of foam board, 1/2 yard Christmas fabric, Christmas ribbon and quilting tacks. I used packing tape to do the entire project, but a glue gun would have worked too. It was a very easy project!
*Cut out the tree form
*Cover tree in fabric (tightly)
*Crisscross the ribbon on the tree (tightly)
*Insert tacks at each crossing
*I also flipped it over after inserting the tacks and covered all the exposed tacks with a swatch of fabric, securing it with tape.
Ta-da! Done! How easy! I also thought it would have been neat to leave the foam board in a rectangular shape and made it look like a giant gift instead of a tree. No cutting the board then so that is an even easier option. I would say get some big fat ribbon to make a big bow for the top if you make it that way. Cute, cute, cute!
Who is feeling crafty?

Ok I love this! Totally going to try!
That turned out so awesome! Will have to try it next year... I already have our cards up on our giant ricrac ribbon this year!
Love the patterns and colors - it rocks!
Nicely done. We may try something similar since I want to change where we normally have our cards.
THAT is adorable and brilliant! I'm seriously impressed!
Oh mine are just in a pile- great idea!
