PAIR YOUR HANDMADE PAINT DABBER GRAPE CARD WITH —> Hold My Hand Today But My Heart Forever Keepsake

Grape Themed Card Craft Supplies:

* Pre-made Cardstock Cards
* White Cardstock Paper
* Glue Stick
* Purple Craft Paint
* Small Paper Plate
* Medium Sized Pom Pom – just one
* Wooden Clothespin
* Black/Green Sharpie Markers
* Scissors/Paper Trimmer
optional materials for this craft – small scrapbook stickers

Directions:

* First trim down your white cardstock so it will fit on the front of your pre-made cardstock cards. One piece for each card.
* Once trimmed down, go ahead and glue those to the front of each card. Repeat.
* Now grab your purple craft paint and squirt a small amount of it on the paper plate.
* Grab your pom pom and “pinch” it in between the clothespin opening. This is now your new paint brush!
* Gently “dab” the pinched pom pom into the purple craft paint and then onto the cardstock.
* Repeat that step to make SIX dots in a triangle shape. This is your new grape design.
* Finish off the card by using the markers to draw on a stem/leaf coming from the stamped design.
* To finish off the cards by either writing or adding your scrapbook stickers around the grape design to say “You are a GRAPE friend” or any other saying you like.
* Then write a sweet message inside and mail away!!!

Extra Craft Tip – instead of the particular purple paint dabber I used, children can use recycled wine corks dipped in purple paint or their thumbprints!
