Time for a wonderful kids made Christmas card! This super simple reindeer Christmas card is insanely easy to make and thus suitable for kids of all ages.

Depending on the age of the kids, you can even modify the process a little bit to make it even easier (or harder).

We will be sharing a ton of cool DIY Christmas card ideas this year as we really thing giving (or sending) a traditional card still gives that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Kids making their own Christmas cards is also a very rewarding experience for them, they make a nice little card and they gift it to people important to them. This process also encourages writing, as there's noting better than to write your holiday wishes in a card you made.

Rudolph the reindeer is one of our favorite Christmas characters, so we are kicking off this years collection of cards with the simplest ever reindeer Christmas card for kids to make! Just a few cuts and a bit of glue and you'll have the nicest looking Christmas card ever!

Ready? Let's make one!

How to Make a Reindeer Christmas Card

What you need:

construction paper for the card base (you can also buy the blank cards, perfect for a preschool or kindergarten classroom project)

light brown construction paper

dark brown construction paper (alternative for younger kids can be a dark brown crayon)

red construction paper

wiggle eye stickers or googly eyes

glue

scissors

Glitter is always a welcomed addition, especially for the reindeer nose, to really make it shine.

Watch the Video Tutorial

Follow the Step by Step Tutorial

This is how we get our cards... First we fold the letter/A4 sized paper in half and cut it in half. Then we fold that half another time in half. Small and cute.

Make sure the folds are crisp.

To make this easier - fold (don't crease) the rectangle in half along it's length. Gently crease on one end only, to mark the middle. Unfold.

Now cut from the bottom of the rectangle to the middle you have marked.

Crease.

Alternatively you can also draw them with crayons, markers...

Glue it on top of the "triangle tip".

Happy Holidays!

It's time to get merry by making this simple Santa Christmas card. In this tutorial we will show you one of the easiest handmade Christmas cards you can make that also looks amazing. Both kids and kids at heart will have no problems with crafting this one.

Christmas by itself is a truly magical holiday! It's a time of year that many wonderful childhood memories are made and making Christmas crafts with your kids and doing homemade Christmas cards can greatly add to the magical experience.

These are a quick project, and a hard to fail one so they are great to do in the classroom.

How to Make a Simple Santa Christmas Card

What you need:

red cardsock paper

white paper

black paper

gold or yellow paper for the buckle

scissors

glue

Step by Step Tutorial

Let's start by making a card. Fold a sheet (letter size or A4) in half.

Cut across the fold.

Take one of the halves and fold it in half again. This way you get two cards out of one sheet of paper.

Next cut a strip of white paper (roughly one third of the card, no rules with measurements here).

Glue the paper strip on the card.

Cut a strip of black paper, make it longer than the card width.

Place the black paper on top of your buckle paper (yellow, golden or whatever color you have). Cut out a rectangle from the buckle paper that is wider than the black paper strip.

Now cut off a piece of black paper, it needs to be shorter than the buckle rectangle. Trim if necessary.

Apply glue on the black rectangle and stick it in the center of the buckle.

Stick the black strip of paper on the card, somewhere on the lower half. Cut off any excess.

Apply glue on the back of the buckle and stick it onto the black belt.

Cut two small black circles (or draw them) and stick them on the card.

Open your card and write your note.

Happy holidays!

Making a ton of these will be easy peasy.

Holiday cards can be expensive, and they usually fall on just one family member to handle. From choosing the design to selecting the photo and adding the greeting, often it adds stress to an already busy time of year. Instead of going with something typical this time around, try making your own with these ideas for fun, hand-painted holiday cards.

Most of the materials can be found around your house. Best of all, every member of the family can help make the cards - turning what's typically a holiday chore for the adults into a fun activity for everyone.
Materials:

Card stock (classic holiday colors, white)

Ruler

Scissors

Nontoxic paints

Pens or markers

Envelopes

Step 1
Measure and cut the cards to the size of the envelopes using an assortment of card stock, a ruler, and scissors. For a standard greeting card envelope, cut the paper into 8.5-inch by 5.5-inch strips, then fold them in half. (When folded, the card will measure 4.25 inches by 5.5 inches.) Use the edge of the ruler to help score the crease of the card.

Step 2
Once the cards have been cut and folded, choose a paint-friendly work surface for the crafting to take place. Set out the blank cards, along with some pens or markers, and an assortment of nontoxic paints.

It's best also to include some paper towels to help with the mess, plus scratch paper for testing out the designs. If you plan to add small details, having some toothpicks or paint-friendly brushes and tools on hand will be helpful.

Here are four hand-painted holiday card styles to get you started:

Reindeer
Put your thumbprint to festive use with these cute holiday reindeer. To make them, dip your thumb in gold or brown paint. Use a piece of scratch paper to blot the paint from your thumb, then lightly press your thumb onto the blank card.

Let the paint sit for a few minutes before adding the nose, which can be made with the tip of your pinky finger and a little black or red paint. Use a toothpick to add on the eyes with black paint. Once the paint is completely dry, use a pen to finish off each reindeer with antlers.

Winter Greenery
For a classic holiday card, try a holiday tree or a winter wreath. To make the wreath, dip your thumb in green paint and add dots to the card, working in a circle. Give the first color a few minutes to set, then dip your thumb into a different shade of green and repeat until the wreath shape is complete. Use your pinky finger or the end of a brush to add some berries and a ribbon.

For the holiday tree, follow the same process as the wreath, instead creating a tree shape with your thumbprints. Use brighter colored paints to add the lights and the star.

Snowmen
You'll be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to turn a blank card into a winter wonderland. For the smaller snowmen, use your thumb and index finger to create the body and head of the snowmen with white paint. Once the paint is dry, use a toothpick (or anything with a small tip) to add on the buttons with black paint, as well as the carrot nose with orange paint. Use your pinky finger to add the classic snowman hat.

Once the paint is dry, use a black pen to finish off each snowman with stick arms. The best thing about the small snowmen is that you can create a fun group of them, giving each a different facial expression. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even turn each family member into a snowman on the card!

For the larger snowmen, paint larger rounds onto the card with white paint using your finger, then repeat the steps above for the other features once the paint has dried.

For the lights, dip your fingertip into a bright color of paint and gently press your finger onto the card to add a colorful light bulb. Alternate the color of the bulbs on the paper. Once the bulbs have dried, use a black marker or felt-tip pen to add the cord to complete the light strand.

I love the tradition of sending out a holiday card every year.

But I have never actually done it.

Perhaps this will be the year!

So if I do get cards out, I have not decided what type of holiday card it would be. So for kicks I decided to try making a few cards.

I kept these very simple of course since that is that I (mostly) do around here: simple.

I personally celebrate Christmas, but as I was making the Christmas Tree card I thought it would be so easy to do a card for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa as well! And I actually like how they all turned out. ﻿

Here's a simple tutorial for an oh-so-simple card:

I took a patterned piece of card stock and cut it into the size of card I wanted.

Next I choose a plain colored piece of card stock, cut it smaller and glued it only the front of my card.

Then I cut out a simple tree shape.

Next I took the tree and cut it into a lot of little pieces.

Then I glued the little pieces to the card, only using every other piece and leaving a blank spot where the piece would go. (Does that make sense?)

Anyway, this is the result: a cute, simple, modern Christmas card!

Using a similar philosophy (simple straight shapes), I created a Hanukkah and Kwanzaa card too.

What do you think? Will you be making, buying, or going digital with your Holiday cards this year?

I participate in the link parties found here.
