Handmade Christmas Cards

I made these super easy Christmas cards this morning, and I’m really happy with how cute they turned out! If I’d known they would be as easy as they were, I probably would have just made our Christmas cards instead of buying them!

To make, cut simple Christmas tree, star and present shapes from construction paper. The stars were too small to do several at a time, but the trees and presents can be cut in batches. I cut mine freehand to add to the homemade look, and some of the stars are a little wonky, but I think that’s okay. The ribbons were definitely the most time consuming part – I tied and curled the tiny bows and glued them on, but you could draw them on instead, I think, since they may end up getting smashed beyond recognition anyway if you mail them.
