Craft: Tiny Christmas Card


Today's post is a quickie; just wanted to share the details of these fun cards I posted on Instagram! 

I was at Target over Thanksgiving, and these letters from sugar paper for Target caught my eye. 


I grabbed one for each of my friends' initials, alphabetized the rest (that's really not important), and grabbed a set of 10 greeting cards from around the corner. 
I made sure they had glitter gold too, to match the letters!



When I assembled the gifts (cards? gifts? I can't decide. Technically it's a card, but it's functioning as a gift...hm.), I tore the card in half and wrote on the back of the sparkly front. I punched a hole through the top corner, ran some string through the card and the letter, (I just happened to have that pretty gold from Hobby Lobby clearance a long time ago!), and tied a knot or a bow. So cute! 


Shoutout to Target for the supplies for this fun idea! Oh, I forgot to mention—the letters were $2 each, and the cards were less than $1 each. Hooray for affordable presents, because the more presents, the merrier! 

I had planned to attach some sort of treat to the cards, but that hasn't quite worked out yet. I have Dark Chocolate Peppermint Joe-Joe's from Trader Joe's, but the bags I have aren't cute. So we'll see how that goes!

Merry Christmas!
