1. Simple Handmade Greeting Card

This card is super easy and uses a paper plate to create something magical. You can make it as colourful and sparkly as you want. Ready to start?

You’ll need:

• Fevicol MR

• Rangeela Tempera Colours

• A paper plate

• A sponge

• Ornamental stones

• A thick black marker

• Scissors

Here’s how you make it:
Take a paper plate and divide it into four parts. Use two parts to create the card’s base. Cut a small square from one part to connect them and assemble the base of your unique Christmas gift cards.

Stick the pieces together with Fevicol MR to create the base for a charming DIY Christmas gift card. Use a sponge to dab tempera colours and make each creation one of your most unique gift cards for Christmas. Let it dry completely before adding the finishing touches to your festive DIY gift cards.

Next, cut out a photo or picture of something Christmassy—maybe Santa, a Christmas tree, or even your pet wearing a Santa hat! Stick it in the centre of the card.

Use your black marker to write a sweet message like “Merry Christmas” or “You’re Snow Special!” Add some sparkle by sticking ornamental stones or drawing snowflakes with a white marker.

Your card is ready! You can even spray a little cinnamon or peppermint oil on it to make it smell like Christmas. Imagine how excited your friends will be to open this card!

2. DIY Magic Card

Do you like tricks? This DIY project is a delightful way to create magical Christmas gift cards that will amaze your family and friends. When they slide the card, a hidden picture will appear like magic!

You’ll need:

• Fevicol A+

• Rangeela Tempera Colours

• A felt pen

• OHP (clear plastic) sheet

• Coloured chart papers (black and white)

• Fine art brushes

Here’s how you make it:
Start with a black chart paper. Fold it in half, leaving a small flap on one side, and cut out a rectangle frame.

Now, take a white chart paper and draw something Christmassy—like a snowy house, a reindeer, or a snowman—to create a memorable DIY Christmas gift card. Colour it in with tempera paints and let it dry.

Next, cut a matching rectangle from the OHP sheet and place it on top of your drawing. Staple them together on one side to reveal the magic behind these unique gift cards for Christmas.

Now, draw outlines on the OHP sheet with a felt pen. Slide the OHP sheet up and down to reveal the hidden colours below.

Stick the frame around your drawing and OHP sheet using Fevicol A+. Make sure the slider works smoothly.

Your magic card is ready! To make it extra festive, you can sprinkle a little glitter between the OHP sheet and the drawing or add a tiny ribbon at the top.
