**Here's what you do:**

Create a triangle template out of the white card stock that is approximately the size of your paint chip.

Use a pencil to trace it onto the back side of two paint chips. Cut them out. 

Make two trunks out of brown paint chips by cutting them down on your Fiskars paper trimmer. The finished size should be 2 x 1.25 inches.

Use your Sizzix Big Shot to cut out two yellow cardstock stars.

Use Permanent Glue Dots to create a tree ornament by "sandwiching" the ribbon and trunk in between the green tree layers. 

Add the yellow stars on each side using Permanent Dots.

Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere sequins and other small embellishments to the trees.
