KID-MADE DIY STRING ART CHRISTMAS CARDS


Make festive Christmas cards with the kids with this easy string art tutorial. Kids will love threading yarn and beads through to make trees. You can also make holiday shapes, like a pretty angel card.

Kid-Made String Art Christmas Cards – Materials:

Yarn
– Large needle
– Cardstock
Beads
– Small piece of silver pipe cleaner (for the angel)
– Glue
– Felt
– Pencil
– Letter stamp set (optinal)

Instructions:

Step 1. Cut your cardstock into card size shapes. Trace a holiday shape like a tree or angel onto the card with a pencil. You can freehand the shapes or look up clipart online to cut out and use as a template.

Step 2. Poke holes with your needle along your drawn shape and erase the pencil lines. Start threading yarn through the holes, making sure to tie a knot on your first go through so it stays secure in the back of the card. Note: we added a beaded star to the top which is optional.

Step 3. Continue stringing and then start adding the beads. Continue stringing until your tree looks full.

Step 4. You can also add stamped letters as we did.

Step 5. The back of the card will look “stringy” so you can cut a piece of felt and glue on the back of the card to cover any imperfections.

Repeat the same process for the angel. Instead of beads, we glued a small piece of silver pipe cleaner as the halo.
