Homemade Christmas Cards: Supplies and Ideas
It’s really very easy to create beautiful homemade Christmas cards using supplies you already have in your home. You can make cards using just about anything on hand if you’re creative.
What Supplies Will I Need?
It’s a pretty simple list, so feel free to add to it depending on what you find in your craft drawer or scrapbooking tote. The look and feel of the card is all up to you, so have fun with it! Personalize the card to the person it’s going to and it they’ll think it’s perfect.
You can also use old wallpaper samples, fabric, bric-a-brac, beads, raffia, yarn, brass fasteners, images from magazines, or anything else that interests you. Gather all of your supplies together and get started with some of these great theme ideas for making homemade Christmas cards.
Go all out with your cards or keep them simple. Either way, you’ll quickly discover a theme or style that you really like and that will seem to jump out at you. The nice thing about making your own cards is that you can tailor each card to each person if you like. Or, choose one pattern or style for most everyone on the list so the card making goes a bit quicker and customize only those few to close family members.
