Crafts for Kids: Crafty Cards

Why not introduce your kids to the art of card craft early with this cheap and alternative way of creating really special and unique cards for your family and friends for birthdays, christmas, weddings etc…

The school year is almost over so today my daughter and I made this Thank You card for her teacher.

What You Need:

• Gluestick
• Scissors
• Coloured Card
• Coloured Paper
• Envelope
• Cut-Outs from Greetings Cards (See below for details)

Optional:

• Sequins
• Ribbons
• Beads
• Tissue paper
• Felt Tip Pens
• Whatever you like!

Every time we have an event that means we get lots of cards in our house when we are finished with them instead of throwing them away or putting them in a sentimental keepsake box and forget about them we cut out pieces from them. Text that reads “Happy Birthday” for example, pictures of butterflies, flowers, boarders etc etc etc (from the inside and the back of the card too!) All these pieces go into a special box and when it’s someones birthday or whatever we can have a good rummage through and decide which pieces to use to make a card ourselves. (We also use these as gift tags on presents – it’s something my Mother and I used to do when I was a child and I still enjoy deciding which part of the card would make the nicest cut out as much as I did then.)

Card craft supplies kind of have the same kind of thing only you have to fork out your hard-earned for these pieces – and although they look much more professional our method is not only free but recycled and when people know your kids have helped make the cards they are generally much more forgiving.

How to Build Your Card:

Firstly measure the envelope that you are using and ensure your folded piece of card is just a little bit smaller than this.

Use a piece of card cut to size and fold in half – we used card that is coloured on one side and white on the inside.

Using a piece of coloured paper, we cut another piece to fold in half that is even smaller than the card itself to add as the insert. (This is where you will write your greeting message.)

Once glued in place we added a message to the inside just like a bought card would have from our card cut outs box.

The front of the card is really up to you, use the pieces of card cut outs (see how we used a piece of pink spotty card as a background and added pieces on top of that). Embellish the card as you like, just make sure it’s not too bulky that it won’t fit into your envelope.

Eco-Friendly Fabric Bowl Covers

Three ~ Pack of Shabby Chic Country Cottage Style Fabric Eco – Friendly Bowl Covers in Red Gingham

Perfect for catering, picnics, parties and bbq’s, this economically friendly pretty cotton bowl lid eliminates the need for foil wrap or clingfilm and is a far more attractive way of keeping flies off your salad or proving your dough. Made from adorable red gingham for a shabby chic country cottage feel and lined in cream polka dot cotton.

The price shown above is for a pack of three bowl covers, in three sizes, small, medium and large.

The small cover fits a standard cereal size bowl measuring approx 5.5″ (12.5cm), the medium is measured to fit approx 9″ (22.5cm) bowls and the large cover will fit a bowl approximately 11″ (28cm). They are elasticated so there is a small amount of room for manoeuvre. To measure your bowls to ensure a correct fit, measure as shown in the diagram:

Please Note: These are not intended for long-term storage and care should be taken to keep containers upright as the covers do not create an air-tight seal.

Machine washable on a cool wash, iron with a damp tea towel on top.

All our items are gift wrapped for free ~ Each item is carefully  gift wrapped in colourful tissue paper, tied with parcel string and topped with a beautiful  hand written Lily P Chic tag. Each parcel will then be sealed in a plastic bag to prevent any water damage that may occur and finally wrapped in heavy duty brown paper parcel wrap for postage. If you are buying this item as a gift for someone and would like the gift wrapping items kept separate so that you are at liberty to view the piece and then wrap yourself please add a note to your order.
