Christmas Cards using Recycled Fabric
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
I’m so excited. We got our Christmas cards done early this year.
They’re not mailed yet, so there’s still no guarantee that I’ll get them out early, but I figure I at least have a good shot at them arriving at people’s home before New Years this year.
For these cards we decided to raid the fabric scrap bag. You’ll notice we used all types of fabric, not just Christmas themes. There’s some from dresses I made the girls, as well as fabric from an old shirt that added a little variety.
This was a simple card that all three kids could help to make.
The twins cut the fabric triangles and Alexandra (who is two) was able to help mod podge the ‘trees’ on the card. Then we used fabric paints to outline the trees and for the stars.
We picked a bible passage for the saying inside and printed it out on some name badge labels I had laying around (8 per sheet), and the kids stuck them inside the cards.
