Handprint Christmas Card Craft Supplies:

* Colored Cardstock Paper {red, green and brown being important!}
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Pencil or Pen
* Adhesive like a tape runner or glue stick
* Sequin Embellishments or Rhinestone Stickers

Directions:

* First trace your child’s hand on the green cardstock {elf} brown cardstock {reindeer} and/or red {Santa} cardstock paper.
* Trim out each handprint with scissors.
* 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, antlers for the reindeer and a 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!
* Snap a few pictures to share with us! #gluedtomycrafts
