Christmas cards: ideas to congratulate Christmas
CARDS WITH CRAFT PAPER
To make these Christmas cards you need a piece of white cardboard cut in 21 x 14’5cm, then cut another piece of craft paper of 19’5 x 13 cm and draw Christmas trees of different shapes with a straight lines. Cut out the silhouettes of the little trees and stick it on the white cardboard leaving some margins. If you want to give it a touch more, you can make a loop with a cotton rope passing several times through the craft paper. To finish, write some lines on the back congratulating the Christmas and do not forget to sign. They will love it!
CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH NEWSPAPER
This is a very economical and ecological idea at the same time. Take a piece of cardboard that you can reuse from a box and, with an old newspaper, start making strips with your hands, ATTENTION, DO NOT USE SCISSORS! The grace of this technique is that the edges are imperfect. Then with a little glue stick, paste the pieces creating a Christmas tree and add a colorful and different star-shaped paper at the top.
LABELS
See how original !? Change the traditional card format and dare with these labels. You can use washy tape or magazine cutouts to create the designs that you like: trees, reindeer, snowmen, anything goes. To do this, use a bit of cardboard or cardboard and cut it using a label that you have at home. Punch a hole in the top and tie a piece of black thin loop. Then decorate as you like.
HOLLY
To make these homemade Christmas cards so cool, create a cardboard template and trace the silhouette on a green card. If you want to give it a little more personality, paint on a white card green spots with watercolors in such a way that different shades remain and then cut them with the shape of the silhouette. Paste them to a card made with white card on the side of the fold and finally write the message that you like. If you want to customize it a little more you can add some golden thread or button as a gift.
SCRAPS OF FABRIC
Use scraps of fabric with different patterns and red thread and create the most original cards. How? Very easy: cut several pieces of fabric with the same shape, triangles of different sizes to create a small tree and socks. Attach them to the card with the red thread and a sharp needle. What do you think?
SEW CARDS WITH THREAD
This idea is my favorite. Grab some red and black thread and a sharp needle and stitch it in a shape. For the horns straight lines of black color, the eyes a black circles and finally the big red nose of Rudolph very large to highlight this card. Easy and very original!
3D ARBOLITOS
Do you like these cool cards? Take a card and fold it in half, then stick a piece of folded green chenille in the shape of a Christmas tree, and then put a star sticker. To give the final touch, write Merry Christmas!
REINDEER WITH POMPOM
You can create cool cards by adding small craft materials. Look at these examples from the photos. To make the reindeer card: draw some horns, stick a pair of plastic eyes and a nose with a red pompom. For the other hand draw little birds and paste some red buttons that simulate the body body, add a congratulations and go.
SMALL PIECES OF CARDBOARD
Collect pieces of cardboard of different types and create a collage with them. Look at the example in the photo. Use a bit of glue to make the joints and complements with a bit of string or a button that acts as a star.
WITH GEOMETRIC SHAPES
Take advantage that it is Christmas to use metallic colors like the ones used on this card. Also if you like geometric patterns, you do not need to leave your tastes, but you can use them to decorate your card.
