How To Make A Xmas Card Using Wrapping Paper
Make a stylish Christmas card using bits of leftover wrapping paper. Environmental conscious, and will save you that extra money during the winter months.
Step 1: You will need
- blank card with envelope - you can buy these from a craft shop
- Leftover wrapping paper
- Card from tights, a shirt, a notepad or an old invitation
- Adhesive tape
- Adhesive foam pads
- Scissors
- Gold cord or ribbon
- metallic pen
Step 2: Cut out the present
Use a piece of stiff card to cut out the shape of a small rectangular present.
Step 3: Wrap up
Cut out a piece of leftover wrapping paper bigger than the present shape. Fold the paper over the card and secure at the back with tape.
Step 4: Tie a bow
Tie curling ribbon or metallic cord over and around the present shape. Tape it down at the back to make it easier to tie the cord into a bow on top of the present.
If you are using wired cord, be sure to knot the ends and trim. Then curl the ends of the cord.
Step 5: Stick down
Stick the present to a blank card with adhesive foam pads. Make sure it is not crooked.
Step 6: Write a message
Finally, add a festive message inside the card using a metallic marker pen.
