Yesterday we made our own Christmas cards! I loved Merrilee's idea last year, but alas, at 8.5 months pregnant and with family stuff/illness going on I didn't get the chance then. I'd forgotten all about it until I was reminded of it again over at Grace designs last week.
This was a super easy craft and therefore great for a four year old to manage. We just used watercolours instead of fingerprinting inks, and it turned out fine - I printed the image onto blank cards I already had and it took about 30 mins for the lot. It's safe to say I loved this craft. It was just like colouring in to me - placing all those little coloured dots onto the page....so therapeutic. I wished I could keep going and going and I think I liked it more than the 4 year old!
Now we have cards for preschool teachers and a few other special people, handmade with love. *High five!*
If you need to make some too, you'll find the template here on the Mer Mag blog.
