• Unite the sides with the base using the rectangles.

• Take the wide ribbon and cut 3 pieces, 1 for each side.
• Stick them on the sides using pva glue.
• Stick the remaining part on the inside.
• Using some glue dots stick a ribbon bow on a side.

• For a nicer effect, dust the red triangles sides with some ink.
• Get one of the red triangles and create a pocket on it using the scrap paper.
• The second triangle will be decorated using some green ribbon.
• Add the 3 triangles on the base using pva glue.
• Take the white triangle and create a snow effect on it using some cotton pads, than stick it to the base.

• Add some mini pearls on the green ribbon.
• On the plain side add the Santa sticker and some mini white pearls to create a snow effect.
• Add a piece of cotton pad on the pocket to create that snow effect again ;)
• Create your center master piece using mini Christmas trees, red berries, red pearls, jingle bells.
