DIY Christmas Card Ideas with Confetti

12.06.16 By Kirsten Nunez 1 Comment

During the holidays, sending a simple hello to someone you love can speak volumes. A handmade card is the perfect way to do just that. After all, it boasts more care and thought than a store-bought card ever could. It’s also easy on the wallet. You don’t need fancy supplies to create something festive and fun. For these DIY Christmas card ideas, sequins and a plastic baggie were used to make an eye-catching confetti creation. It all comes down to placement and technique. Keep reading to see how easy it is to make your own.

Confetti-DIY-Christmas-Card-Ideas-Darice-1DIY Christmas Card Ideas Project Supplies:

  • Darice Adhesive Tape Roller
  • Core’dinations A2 Cards and Envelopes
  • Darice Craft Knife
  • Metallic Marker or Paint Pen
  • Darice 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 Self Sealing Bag
  • Darice Turquoise Round Sequins *
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Cutting Mat

confetti-present-card-001Step 1. Draw a 2.5 x 2.5 inch square on the front flap of the card base.

confetti-present-card-002 Step 2. Using the ruler as a straight edge, cut out the square with a craft knife.

confetti-present-card-003 Step 3. Fill up the clear bag with sequins of your choice. Use as little or as many as you’d like! Fold and seal the bag.

confetti-present-card-004 Step 4. On the back side of the card front, add a strip of double-sided adhesive tape around the cut out. Stay close to the edges.

confetti-present-card-005Step 5. Firmly press the sequin-filled bag on to the tape. The bag’s flap should be facing you; this will allow the recipient to open up the bag, if they’d like.

confetti-present-card-006Step 6. Add a generous helping of doodles and details with a metallic marker or paint pen. Metallic acrylic paints or gel pens also work great.

Confetti-DIY-Christmas-Card-Ideas-Darice-2For these DIY Christmas card ideas, don’t feel limited to square presents. A square can also double as a gingerbread house, while a circle can become an ornament. Triangles can work as Christmas trees (below) and Santa hats. If you’re up to the challenge, you can even cut out a star.

Confetti-DIY-Christmas-Card-Ideas-Darice-3Thanks to the endless combinations of shapes and sequins, it’ll be easy to create a different card for everyone on your list. Daring individuals will have a blast unleashing the shower of confetti, too. But hey—at least it’s not extra fine glitter 😉
