This has to be the simplest DIY Christmas card idea there is, which is why I love it! Miss eight can easily sit and make a whole collection of these in one sitting, making it an easy Christmas craft for kids too. And it’s versatile – you can easily swap out the oversized gemstones for buttons, giant sequins or shapes cut from Christmas paper.
You will need:
- Cardstock, folded in half
- Oversized gemstones, giant sequins or buttons in Christmas colours
- White PVA craft glue
- Permanent, fineline marker
To make:
1. Arrange your gemstones onto the front of the card and glue into place (we orientated our card so that the folded edge was at the top)
2. Draw a string from the top fold down to each gem. Draw bows.
3. Optional: If you’re good at calligraphy or have a mini alphabet stamp kit, add a greeting to the front of your card.
