Then, count 0.78 inches from both sides of this first line your drew and draw two more straight lines, as shown in the second picture. All three lines should be parallel to each other.
-
On the thick red craft paper, trace and cut out a triangle. Then, take the white lacy paper and cut out another triangle, of the same dimensions as the previous one.

After that, make a fold (upwards) on the two outer lines you’ve drawn before (do not make a fold on the middle one). Glue corner tops a and c together. Hold the glued tops with your fingers for a little while, till the glue hardens enough to keep them together.

The red triangle you’ve cut before is for the back side of the Christmas Tree Napkin Holder. and the lacy triangle is for the front side. After gluing these triangles in place, wait for the glue to dry. Use your scissors trim both sides, if necessary.
