How To Make This Homemade Christmas Card Idea ...
- Print it out! Open up the Printable Christmas Card Making Kit [the what?] and print out the page that contains the purple-backed holly design.
Tear it! Carefully tear along the inner edges of the purple rectangular design. You'll be left with a hand-torn purple rectangle with the white holly image in the center.- PVC glue it!
- Carefully color in the holly design with your glue. Don't use too much and make sure you don't go over the edges of the holly design.
- Fill in the lighter frame of the design with spikey squiggles using your PVC glue. Tip: Start off by drawing longer diagonal lines in each corner. This draws the focus inwards to the holly in the center.
- Glitter it! Sprinkle some of the purple glitter over the design (make sure you place a folded piece of scrap paper underneath, to catch the excess glitter when you shake it off). Tap off the excess glitter and return to the pot. Leave to dry.
- Spray glue it! Spray glue the back of the glittered purple rectangle and stick it in the center of your card.
