Tis’ the season for handmade gifts and tons of crafty fun!!! If you are looking for an easy keepsake idea for the kids to make and gift to the grandparents and/or other family members this holiday season, these Santa & Elf Handprint Christmas Cards are just for YOU!

Today I’m sharing some inspiration on how to make these Handprint Christmas Cards with your kids today and then have them in the mail tomorrow {YES my friends – they are that EASY!}

With that being said, not only are these DIY cards super simple to assemble {even for a beginner crafter} but they are really inexpensive and have that handmade touch that everyone will love too!

So what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies and create some one-of-a-kind pieces with your child today! Happy crafting {and gifting} my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Cardstock {most importantly green & red!}
* Scissors
* Pencil
* Adhesive
* Sequin Embellishments

Directions:

* First trace your child’s hand on the green {elf} and/or red {Santa} cardstock. Trim out. Repeat for each card you want to create.
* Now grab your remaining cardstock and trim out the other features to give your pieces life {collar for the elf and belt for the Santa}
* Once your child has all the pieces they like, have them glue everything to a cardstock card front. At this point, you can either add more customization or go straight to personalizing the inside so you can mail it right away! Don’t forget to add your child’s name and age on the card, so the receiver will always know when it was made!
