Turn a piece of your kid's art into the featured design on your family's holiday card. All it takes is a customized rubber stamp, available through copy shops and stationers or office supply stores.
Materials
- Child's drawing
- Customized rubber stamp
- Blank cards
- Nontoxic ink pad
Instructions
- The first step is to have your child create a holiday image, such as a reindeer or snowman, on scrap paper. Keep in mind that simple line drawings are easiest to convert into stamps. To add a stamped greeting to your cards, have him handwrite a message, such as "Merry Christmas" or "Thank You," as well.
- Take the drawings to a copy shop or stationer and have them reduced to fit the cards you plan to use, then made into rubber stamps. (This may take about five days and cost about $15.)
- Homemade Greetings Made Easy Step 3When the stamps are ready, set up a greeting card workshop with blank cards and envelopes and a nontoxic ink pad. (We also used a pencil eraser and red ink to stamp our reindeer's bright red nose.)
