Inspired by a memory of a post I saw at Red Ted Art a few years ago, today The Girls and I made some super-easy Thank You Cards that would work well not just post-Christmas but any time you receive a present.
I cut different-sized squares from brown paper, which we stuck to pre-folded cards you can get in most Arts and Crafts shops.
Then we used various colours of washi tape to ‘wrap’ the parcels.
I added a few bows here and there, made from trimming the tape with some scissors.
Then we added our thank you’s and posted them off to those who had sent such kind gifts.
I have to get my hands on Washi tape, it looks very addictive! Love the cards xx
too cute! i bought a whole heap of washi tape in new york from a craft shop, shame we’ve made our cards already 🙁
Sweeeeet! I have forgotten to make thank you cards for the first time this year. THE GUILT!
You’ve had a few other things on your mind @mammasaurus! #teamhonk
They’re fantastic. Must remember them for next year.
Oh they are beautiful, I love them!
What a great idea – and we do (shamefully) still need to do thank you cards after Christmas.
painful yet necessary @pinkoddy. I think that’s why I like making them: at least if you/your child just write ‘thanks’ inside at least people can see you took the time to make the card!
I love these, what a wonderful idea. I have lots of washi tape in rainbow colours laying around, but I still have to come up with an idea of what to do with it.
birthday thank yous @carolin?
Ooh these are adorable. Love the simplicity and yet effectiveness of them!
Thanks so much @redtedart
Love these. Have to get on the case! (So afraid of getting a crush on washi tape if I start!!).
you may develop a crush @debbie but it will be worth it, and the cards use a lot of tape….
Love these. The boys are making their cards tonight
Good work @TheMadHouse boys!
