This year we will do again Christmas postcards: at home it is a tradition that I already assumed when I was a child, and I do not like to give it up because although it is more comfortable to use the different technological applications to congratulate, on these dates I prefer to strive and give a “special touch” to good wishes .
And I say we will do it again because the last two years we have moved from home (yes, two removals in two years, and those that arrived before), just before Christmas!, You will understand that between marked packing boxes, lots of objects that one 'Do not know where to place' and the disorientation that causes this, one is not to start making crafts. Coincidentally I found the card I need (or rather she found me), it is by Soledad Calabuig in Las Manualidades (I have no more merit than having discovered it). It's pretty, simple and it will also allow me to use some of the hundreds of buttons that I keep since I was little.
What do we need
- For each greeting: a Din A4 size card, a black fine-tip pen, three buttons, white glue (better than glue stick), decoration tape and scissors, a colored paper rectangle of about eight (long) by two (width) centimeters.
How we make our postcards
First we fold each card in half, and in what will be the cover we paste the buttons, as if they were hanging decorative balls, then we draw with the marker the thread from which they hang. We can give the rectangle a prettier shape and write a representative phrase, pasting it under the buttons.
Having written inside, We will form a loop at the bottom end of the card and knot the two parts of the cardboard carefully, cutting off the excess tape.
We will have to put them in an envelope with the recipient, and send them by mail, while my little daughter tries to imagine the route that the shipments make since they leave their destination.
And you, how will you congratulate your loved ones?
