"In this clip I'm going to be showing how to make a pocket Christmas card. You start out with a piece of paper and you fold it in half vertically and you fold it again in half vertically. Then you are going to make a then you are going to a make a pattern I chose a Christmas tree you can chose bells, a circle, whatever shape you want and you put that on the front of your card because this would be the front of the card. You're card would open like this, put it in the front of your card, trace around it and you are going to cut it out. To that you need to fold it again so that it is easy to cut into the picture. Once you have cut your picture out then you have formed your pocket and you need to take a glue stick and glue along the edges, press it down, let it dry for a little bit and then you can insert your picture into the pocket. You can then embellish the Christmas tree with markers, you can add glitter, just whatever you want to do to make a little more personal. I added some markers to trace around to kind of highlight the tree and added a little bit of snow. When you open up your Christmas card you can add your own little personal message and that personalizes your Christmas card."
