Today I will share with you a DIY Christmas card which your kid can make with your guidance.
Have you been making a wish for your friends, family and relatives this Christmas?
Festivals hold a lot of importance to build and mould our children in social and religious aspects. Let’s give the little ones a chance to get involved in the festive preparations. This Christmas, let’s buffer an hour more to clean up the mess and organize things. Because in return, we are inculcating values and morals, we are igniting the festive spirit.
We have never seen the real Santa, but we know for the fact that he is someone who spreads smiles and happiness. It’s already the time for the candles to be lit, snowflakes to snow, stockings to be filled with surprises, homes to be decorated with Christmas star and lights.
With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to bake the plum cake, prepare wine and delicacies for our loved ones. It’s time to hand over a bagful of wishes and choicest blessings for our near and dear ones.
Let’s say it with DIY Christmas cards.
Greeting cards are a great way to deliver wishes. I’m sure the kids will love to involve in making a card for friends and relatives for Christmas.

Step 2: From the craft sheets, cut out colorful Christmas props like snowflakes, stockings, Santa’s stick, gifts, candles, bells etc. Anything that you can think of. Don’t forget, not to keep the props blank. Draw textures, shapes, lines etc on each of them.
Step 3: Cut out shape of a cap out of a red craft paper. Cut circle out of a skin colored craft paper (For Santa’s face). Cut out shapes of beard, hair and moustache from the cotton layer. Now, start making Santa Claus on the top of the front of greeting card.
