Paper Doily Melted Snowman Card To Send This Winter Season
Let’s face it – when winter comes along {primarily when the snow starts falling pretty hard} it can be a debbie-downer for some people.
On that note, I really do stick to my challenge that YOU should brighten a friend or family members day, with this easy handmade snowman card tutorial! It’s perfect for a simple winter sentiment inside or even something you add to your Christmas gifts this year.
All it requires is some inexpensive white paper doilies, colored cardstock and a little creativity with scissors & glue!
Adults and older children can join each other on the craft table, as they “melt” their very own snowman on a card front. I could easily see this idea being a winter boredom buster turned handmade gifts with ease! Especially if you are planning on buying some gift cards and want a clever way to “gift” them to the lucky receivers!
These paper doily snowman cards are colorful, creative and oh so cute – the three things that come to mind! Keep scrolling for the full how-to so you can make one {or a dozen} today!
