Handmade cards with flowers and ribbons

03.11.2009 1 minute read From Editorial team

We like to send beautiful cards to dear friends. Or invitation cards are often sent for special occasions. To give them a special touch, we have a tip here on how to make them unique:

Handmade cards with flowers and ribbons

What is needed

Passepartout card (available in stationery stores, often also at discounters like Hofer or Tchibo)
Decoration: dried flowers, leaves, satin ribbons, lace ribbons, bows, beautiful wallpaper patterns and much more

Instructions:

You can use anything you like for decorating. Glue the decorations nicely onto the card, let them dry, and off they go into the mailbox.

This craft is very nice to do with children. First, the children can collect the decorations: beautiful leaves, flowers, small stones. Then they can glue everything on as they please. A great idea for a rainy autumn afternoon!
