diy: recycled cardboard christmas decorations
This is a super cute and simple Christmas craft idea to do with the kids during the upcoming school holidays or for those of you who just can’t help but be crafty yourselves!
Supplies Needed:
- Cardboard Boxes
- Pretty Ribbon
- Glue
- Metal Ruler
- Blade or Scissors
- White Pen (we used ZIG Posterman Extra Fine White $5.95 – available in store!)
Step One:
Create a template out of scrap paper in the shape of a basic house (or in any shape you desire – why not try a star or gingerbread man!) Using your template, trace around it onto your recycled cardboard box.
Step Two:
Using your blade or scissors cut your shape out of the cardboard.
Step Three
Now it’s time to decorate! We used a white pen to decorate our cardboard gingerbread houses – but why not try metallic silver or gold or even some fun coloured glitter pens! (pop in store to check out our range!)
Step Four:
Once you have finished decorating your cardboard shapes, attach a ribbon loop to the back using a tiny bit of glue! You now have a sweet little handmade recycled cardboard decoration to add to your tree!
Enjoy!
