As usual this Christmas we have made our own Christmas cards. My cards are simple, just white card and some amazing glitter liners I bought recently to make decorations on fabric and that work brilliantly on paper, but it is my son’s idea the one I would like to share here. He made two cards for his teachers using magazine pages and blue thick paper.

Material: blue thick paper, magazine pages, scissors, glue, scalpel.

1. Cut the paper to fit a standard envelope
2. Draw a star on one side of the paper
3. Cut with a scalpel(use a ruler to keep a straight line)
4. Cut a few magazine pages into strips of the same width
5. Weave the magazine strips to make a large enough background to go under  the star shaped hole
6. Attach the woven work onto a piece of blue paper and glue the whole thing inside the card to create a cover for the first page of the card.
7. Leave to dry and the card before writing your special message
