  • Scissors

Steps (11 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    For this craft project, you will need the following:

    •yarn
    •plain white cards
    •glue gun
    •pencil
    •eraser
    •ruler (or anything with a straight edge)
    •scissors

  2. 2

    First, sketch out the patterns you wish to create on your card. For this project, I decided to create simple colour blocked patterns by drawing two lines across the bottom portion of the card, creating triangular shapes.

  3. 3

    Start by adding a thin line of glue along the bottom edge of your first card.

  4. 4

    Press the yarn on the glue. Hot glue dries quickly, so be sure to add the yarn immediately after applying the glue.

  5. 5

    Continue adding glue and securing your yarn, moving back and forth along the card.

  6. 6

    Once you have filled in the colour block, cut the ends off with scissors.

  7. 7

    Your first colour block should look something like this.

  8. 8

    Once you have filled in each of your triangles with a different color yarn, add your greeting by drawing it out first.

  9. 9

    Now, begin gluing and securing yarn to your word.

    Tip: For best results, use cursive writing so that the lettering is fluid with fewer cuts to be made.

    Once that’s done, stand back and admire your sweet little DIY yarn embellished cards :)
