Simply Simple Cards



Need an idea on quick and easy Christmas cards? Look no further. Simply simple cards.

1. To make the simply simple cards you will need:
- Blank cards or card paper;
- Any type of fabric material (or coloured paper);
- Some decorative templates (small hats, socks, gloves, candies..);
- Coloured paper for card insert, optional;
- Mini pegs;
- Jute string;
- Pencil, marker, ruler, glue, scissors and paper cutter.


 2. If you do not have blank cards, cut out the card paper to:
            - 21x15cm size. It is your main card;
            - 9.5x14cm size. It is the top of the main card;
            - 9.5x14cm size for the insert, optional.

 3. Fold the main card's paper in half to get a 10.5x15cm size card.
  
 4. Cut jute string of the length of 18cm, turn it down approx. 3 cm on each end and then glue it on top of the card as shown in the picture.
 


5. Glue a 9.5x14cm size top paper in the middle of the main card to hide a glued jute string. 

6. Glue the insert to the card. Weight it down with a load, for example, books for a quicker bond.

7. Place decorative templates over a fabric, circle it with the marker and then cut it out. 

8. Using pegs attach the cut out templates to a string. 
  
9. Simple last minute cards are ready. Happy Christmas!
