Pattern - Mini Christmas Trees

These little Christmas Tree's are a really quick and easy make and you can turn them into anything to add a little bit of handmade to your festive season!
I used them to make Christmas Cards but you can make decorations, gift tags, bunting...the list goes on!
I will definitely be making some more in the run-up to Christmas!
