HomeKRAFTed Christmas Cards 2: The Ornament Card
Welcome to Day 2 of HomeKRAFTed Christmas Cards!
Most cards just have a nice cover design and then a greeting inside. So I played around with the idea of sending something ‘more’ in the regular format of a Christmas card. Then the ornament card was born. The recipient will have the option of keeping the ornament on the card or removing it and hanging it on their Christmas tree or anywhere else they wish.
Today we will learn how to make an ornament card using an old placemat and some very basic supplies.
Materials:
- old placemat (to repurpose)-i used an IKEA bird placemat
- scissors (big & small)
- kraft paper and envelope
- white card stock paper
- silver string
- silver twisty
- piercing tool
- cotton or soft foam
- red felt
- white craft glue
- red/white gingham paper(got mine from DAISO)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut the image you’re going to use from the placemat and cut white paper to use as reinforcement of cut-out. (will also bring out the colour more)
