Create your own stunning Christmas Tree Surprise with this festive cartonnage kit, perfect for creating a unique Christmas decoration that doubles as a hidden gift box. Designed with a removable tree-shaped lid and concealed storage compartment, this eye-catching project can be displayed throughout the festive season before being opened to reveal a special surprise hidden inside.

The kit includes all the precision die-cut card components required to construct the tree and base. The sturdy pieces are designed to be covered using your choice of fabric before being assembled with glue, creating a beautiful heirloom-quality decoration that can be enjoyed year after year.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters alike, this rewarding project offers endless opportunities for personalisation. Choose traditional festive fabrics, contemporary Christmas prints, luxurious velvets, or elegant seasonal colours to create a decoration that perfectly complements your festive décor.

Once completed, the Christmas Tree Surprise makes a wonderful advent-style decoration, festive table centrepiece, gift box, or keepsake container. The hidden compartment is ideal for storing small gifts, chocolates, jewellery, money, or special Christmas messages, adding an extra touch of magic to the festive season.

Full step-by-step instructions are included, making the construction process enjoyable and accessible for crafters of all abilities. For best results, we recommend using Pinflair Bookbinding Glue, which helps prevent glue bleed-through on fabrics and provides a faster drying, professional-quality finish compared to standard PVA adhesives.
