DIY Birthday Card Making Kit
A few weeks ago on our weekly Webcast I told you about one of my all time favorite DIY kits that Lori one of our 24/7 MOMS team members made me a few years ago - The DIY Birthday Card Kit.
Maybe you are like me and you don’t like to spend $3-$5 on greeting cards and your kids love to make their own. However, often TIME and the making of a huge mess can keep us from being extremely creative. Several months ago the Family Fun magazine featured this simple idea of creating a DIY card making kit. Not only would save us Money but would also simplify our lives when it comes to needing a Birthday card.
The Birthday Card Kit Binder - you can also create this to be an all around card making binder or create a 2nd binder to be the Thank You card kit binder.
Thanks to Family Fun you can make your very own Birthday Card Kit.
HOW TO OUTFIT YOUR KIT
Turn a humble three-ring binder into a one-stop card-making shop by adding homemade supply pockets, a handy printable chart, and plenty of irresistible craft goodies. To jazz up the outside of the kit, have your kids glue cutout decorations to sheets of card stock, write a title with marker, then glue the sheets to the cover and spine or slip them into a view binder's clear front and spine pockets.
You will need:
1 . Determine the quantity and size of bags that will best fit your supplies. We like a smaller size for stamps and labels, while the quart size is perfect for markers. Gallon-size bags may need to be cut down to fit.
2 . For each pocket, sandwich the bag's bottom edge between two lengths of duct tape, creating one inch of overhang.
3 . Use the binder's rings to mark the correct positions for holes, then punch the holes through the overhanging tape. Avoid puncturing the bag.
4 . Affix a printable chart inside the front cover with tape or stickers.
STOCK YOUR BINDER WITH SUPPLIES LIKE THESE:
address book * glitter glue * return address labels * postage stamps * pencils * stamps and ink pad * eraser * sharpener * markers * scissors * hole punch.
