Fun and Festive Handmade Stamped Christmas Cards
Today’s handmade stamped Mistletoe Cards kids craft idea is literally made with something you normally use between your “toes!”
When I say “think outside the box” when it comes to your crafts, I REALLY mean it! Recently we made these festive painted mistletoe cards with something you normally wouldn’t craft with. Although I don’t know the “technical” name of these foam pieces {toe separators – maybe?} they did make for the perfect mistletoe shape we were looking for!
So if you are in need of a last minute Christmas card idea that doesn’t require a lot of materials OR time, then this post is definitely for YOU! Simply gather up the small foam pieces {you can find these at any drugstore in the foot aisle}, some green and red sharpies, scissors and white cardstock paper and you are good to go! Oh and don’t forget to enlist the help of your little ones too! Any age group can help with this simple yet effective holiday project! So what are you waiting for?!
