Quick Read

Back to stationery

If you want to handcraft cards, revisit all the stationery materials you may have stowed away at home. “These mainly include brown cardstock for the base, and coloured paper: Red, green or beige,” Desai says. “Take white paper, silver glitter paper, and even stickers for snowflakes, polka dots, and a red ribbon. Don’t forget the scissors and glue.”
