Procedure

1. Arranged the pieces of branches together in an empty bucket. Fill the bucket with the stones one by one. Make sure that the stones will be able to sturdily hold the branches together while applying weight on your Christmas tree.
2. Make a hole in your each of the Christmas cards using a hole punch. Insert and knot a ribbon on each card so you can tie them up in the branches. Be generous with the length of your ribbon, about 8 – 10 inches will do. Distribute the Christmas cards evenly on all sides.  Also, choosing a color scheme for your ribbon should make it look neat.
3. After tying all the Christmas cards, take time to look into the positions of your cards and make some adjustments if you see it necessary. Ensure that all sides are balanced in terms of the card display.
4. Finally, tie a larger ribbon at the bottom of your branches to create an accent. Tie this ribbon in a bow-like manner all around the branches.

That should do it! You now have a creative and attractive Christmas card tree that can be a great centerpiece for your home. Place your wrapped gifts around the Christmas card tree to complete the setup. You can display this beautiful project at anywhere you desire. This decorative project is very inviting to anyone to read the greetings on every card.
