Make these cute and easy GIANT DIY greeting cards! Yup. These are the extremely large cousins of your typical grocery store cards. Aren’t they a hoot?
Skills Required: None. You can make these, even if you’ve never crafted before! So easy that even kids can make them.
Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something super fun about seeing GIANT things. Hi! It’s Leslie from Pink Stripey Socks! Today I’m sharing a really neat series of GIANT greeting cards! Yup.
If you like making your own birthday cards, this is going to be fun for you.
These are the extremely large cousins of your typical grocery store cards. Aren’t they a hoot? They’re easy to make and sure to provide giggles and laughs all around!
They’re fun for kids or adults. I can see making these with kids of course, but I would have no hesitation making one for a friend or co-worker.
You can hand these out for birthday parties, baby showers, graduation, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day . . . wouldn’t a ring be fun for a bachelorette or wedding? They’re so cute and perfect for photo props.
They’re also a great idea for Earth Day since they’re a great way to recycle cardboard you have on hand. Ready to start? Ok! Let’s get crafting!
Giant Greeting Cards
Here are the materials you’ll need:
- Clean corrugated cardboard
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Scissors
- Paintbrush
- Craft paint
Alrighty, let’s make some GIANT greeting cards!
1. Print out images that you’d like to incorporate into your cards. You can use any kind of design – emojis are a fun place to start if you don’t have any ideas.
2. Sketch your images onto corrugated cardboard using a pencil. Then, cut them out with scissors.
3. Paint the images onto the cardboard with acrylic paint! (I found that I needed two layers of paint to get really vibrant colors).
Note: you can also paint or spray paint the cardboard white first to make painting easier.
4. Once your paint dries, write a message on the back. Then, hand them out to coworkers, family members, classmates, and friends!
I hope you have a fun time crafting these GIANT greeting cards. If you have kids, I’m sure they’d love to dive on in and make some too!
