DIY Season's Greetings

Holiday season is here with Christmas and New Years eve at the doorstep.
A season of gifts and greetings. So, let's also make a sweet little gift card for the occasion.

Requirements to make this charming card, are -

1. White Craft Paper - for the base of the card
2. Crepe paper - assorted colours
3. Pencil -
4. A pair of scissors -
5. Craft Glue 
6. Glitter pen
7. Few glittery stars stickers

Step 1, is to take the white craft paper and fold it in the middle to make a card. 
Width of the paper here is 15cm and length is 30cms. After folding the card's dimensions are 15cm X 15cm.
Draw a circle on the face of the card, in the center, using anything round.
Write the desired greeting in the center and colour it with the glitter pens/brush pens. Use calligraphy ideas to make it more attractive :)
We don't need to outline the circle.

Now, let's make some flowers. Cut approx 4 inch long crepe paper strips, half inch in width. Take a strip and join the ends using the craft glue.
After forming the paper ring, apply glue on one of the running edges, like this,
Gather that edge together and pinch to secure it and give it a floral shape. Let it dry. 
Let's take the green crepe paper and cut thin leaf like shapes. Also, make some more flowers with the assorted coloured crepe paper.
Now, apply glue on the circle we had drawn earlier on the face of the card. Paste the green leaves on it one by one. Let it dry for a couple of minutes.
 
Now we can paste the flowers on the leaves one by one, forming a wreath.
 
Add some more flowers.
Decorate with the glittery star stickers.
 
We can also use some glitter to add more glam to our card.
 The card is now complete with it's starry look.
Add a personal message inside. You can also paste an envelope with some gift money inside, in case you aren't sure what to gift :)

Thank you for going through the post and wish you happy holidays!
