Cute Thank You Cards

Here's what you'll need:

- A Glue Stick

(I tried it with this and liquid glue, but the liquid glue will make more of a mess since it basically re-wets the finger paint, then it gets on your fingers, bla bla bla...glue stick wins!)

- Finger Painted artwork

- Card Stock

- Scissors for cutting the letters out

- Paper cutter, if you have one, for cutting the card stock in half

(my scissors and paper cutter are both just messy, so they are omitted from my picture.)

All you have to do is let your little one finger paint a sheet of card stock. Then once it's dry, cut the letters out. If you're not confident in your letter-shaping skills, you can always print out a sheet from your computer with your message (in large enough font), cut those out, and trace them. Then, fold plain white card stock in half, length-wise, so it's now a folded 11' x 4.25", and then cut that in half, width-wise, making two 5.5" x 4.25" folded note cards. Now just glue the letters in place!It is SO. EASY. Really, it can be for almost any occasion, but we needed thank you notes for his 2nd birthday gifts, and I wanted him to have a part in the message (but wanted something other than the scribbles all over the inside). This ended up being really cute and fun to make. What I really love about it is that it doesn't have to be perfect, they don't have to match, and it always turns out adorable! And what kid doesn't love painting!?

So here's the step by step:

1) fingerpaint, let dry

2) cut out the letters

3) fold and cut plain white card stock

4) glue letters on

5) write your message inside!
