First, you will need these supplies, plus some tape would be wise.
Turn the paper around and rub left to right.
Add some sparkles to make it merry and bright.
“Wow Audrey, that card looks great!”
Inside of the card I let her decorate 🙂
There you have it, don’t you see?
A Christmas card with a beautiful tree!
Do you like to make Christmas crafts with your kids?
Would you like to buy these? I am taking bids.
Just kidding. We had so much fun making our cards that my daughter wanted to make even more! And that’s fine with me, then I don’t have to buy any. The only problem you might have is keeping a creative kid in the house. I did! Audrey wanted to search for all different kinds of leaves to make different leaf patterns. I think it would be fun to try pine needles or ferns. You could even cover the card with your leaf patterns and place a festive holiday greeting over it.
Do you have any Christmas traditions? I would love to hear about it. Please leave a comment below.
