Let the folks on your list have some fun with this greeting that moonlights as a DIY ornament. And don't worry, your friends and family don't need to be craft experts to assemble it!
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet of card stock or heavy paper
Craft knife and scissors Glue stick Card stock in white, black, and orange 7- by 1/2-inch piece of red felt 6-inch piece of embroidery floss or string 6 large black seed beads Snack-size ziplock bag Clear tape A9 or 6- by 9-inch envelope | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: card stock | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Fold the 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet of card stock in half
widthwise. Open the card and use a craft knife to cut a 6- by
3-inch rectangle from the front of the card (leaving a 1 1/4-inch
border). If you like, glue the cutout inside the card, opposite
the window, as we did below. |
| 2. | Cut 3 white circles, a hat (ours is 1 1/2 inches wide at
the brim), and a 3/4-inch-long carrot from the card stock. (For
easier cutting, use our
templates.)
Fringe the ends of the red felt strip and tie the floss or string
into a loop. |
| 3. | Place all these parts plus the beads into the ziplock bag,
seal it, and tape it behind the window. Finally, add a message
letting recipients know that a little glue is all it takes to put
together their ornament. |
