Bored of readymade store-
bought greeting cards? It is
time to make your own
greeting cards at home.
Impress your friends and
family with your unique
designs that you made from
scratch.

Start by folding. Take a
piece of paper or thick
handmade paper sheets
from your local crafts store.
You can pick out an A5 or
A4 size sheet that is quite
sturdy but can be folded
easily.

Draw borders or margins on
the greeting card. First draw
a rough line with a pencil for
reference so that it is more
precise when you draw over
it with color or glitter pen.

Now decide upon the
central point of the card. It
could be a pretty shape or a
funny sticker or a photo
cutout or anything that is
owned by the recipient

If you are good at drawing
or painting, decorate around
the central piece to make it
stand out. Use glitter and
initials or different shapes to
highlight the object of
attention.

Time is now to write down
your special message to the
recipient. So pour your
heart out and for that you
can take inspiration from
the internet and books
owned by the recipient.

Final touches are in tow
once you are done with the
message. So, start with
your favorite glitter pen,
sparkles and sequins and
tassels and anything that
you find is right to decorate
the greeting card.

Give all the colors, paints,
glitter, glue and
embellishments enough
time to dry and set.

Making an envelope for
your handmade greeting
card is easy too. Take a
sheet of paper of the same
material, fold three corners
of it towards the center to
make a pocket. Now press
and stick them with super
glue in a way that the edges
are intact.

Put your greeting card
inside it and end the DIY by
drawing your favorite
shapes or adding glitter or
sticking tassels on the
envelope. You can even
add colorful paper cutouts
or write more fun messages
on the outside of the
envelope, and there you
have it, your very own
handmade greeting card!
