Note Cards
Instead of using store-bought cards, make your own cards to send for birthdays, holidays, thank you’s or just to say hi. Or tie a bunch together with ribbon to give as gifts.
You will need:
Construction paper, white printer paper, scissors, stapler, glue, ribbon, scraps of tissue paper, felt, wrapping paper and/or fabric, markers.
Directions:
For each note card, cut a piece of construction paper into a sheet measuring 8 ½ inches by 5 ½ inches. Fold in half. Cut a piece of white paper into a sheet measuring 7 ½ inches by 4 ½ inches. Fold in half.
Place the white paper inside the colored paper and staple both sheets together at the seam. Or tie the sheets together with a ribbon at the seam.
Decorate the front of each card with bits of paper, felt, fabric and ribbon. You can make balloon shapes with wrapping paper and use ribbon for the balloon strings. Or you can make flower petals or stars with felt and add sparkle with dabs of glitter glue.
