Kartki świąteczne z guzików

Christmas cards with buttons, paper clips, sequins and beads

This year I made Christmas cards together with the girls. The initial plan was for Christmas cards with buttons, but we got a bit more creative and used lots of different staff. Buttons, paper clips, beads, pearls, sequins and glitter stars were in motion.

I try to involve kids in more and more DIY projects because it is a great way to spend time together and it stimulates children’s creativity.

Supplies

  • Pencil

Preparing the base of the card

The first step is to cut the sheet to the desired size and fold it in half. Our original format was A4 from a watercolor pad, so first I cut the paper in half and then folded it in half.

Then I sketched the shape of a triangle. The tip in the middle about 2 cm from the top of the card. Base approximately 3 cm from the bottom and 2.5 cm from the sides of the page.

Finally, I gently rub the pencil with an eraser so that the shape is barely visible. The children had some problems with it and it was hard for them to keep in shape, but we managed to do it together.

The next step is to glue all the elements. We used universal glue because it becomes transparent when dry.

Sticking buttons

The final step is to stick the wishes. To make it easier for you, we have prepared several versions for download and printing.
