Write a Friend Month & Handmade Painted Card

December is the month to write to all of your friends. It is the perfect month to make handmade cards. Therefore, I have created a handpainted card tutorial for Write a Friend Month. This simple Christmas card will take approximately fifteen or twenty minutes to make it. Yet, you and your children will have fun making these handpainted cards.

Materials:

Acrylic Paint

White Nail Polish or any other Color (Optional)

Paintbrushes

Old Paper

Xerox Paper

4 X 6 Photo Paper

Glue stick

Scissors

Stencil (Optional)

Begin by gluing Xerox Paper on both sides of the photo paper. Trim the edges with a pair of scissors. Next, fold the paper in half. Draw a Christmas stocking onto the card with the help of a stencil or by hand. After that paint the Christmas stocking. 

Leave a blank area to write the words, " Made By" and your name. Continue painting stripes or any other design for the Christmas stocking. Wait for the paint to dry. Last, paint dots with white acrylic paint or nail polish. Wait for the paint to dry so you can write inside the card. Here are more resources about Write to a Friend Month.
