DIY Reindeer Tag or Postcard


PAPER REINDEER POSTCARD 
courtesy of Amy Moss

What you will need:
  • A4 Kraft card
  • A4 White, textured card
  • 4 craft brads
  • Double-sided tape
  • Scissors
  • 3mm (or smaller) circle craft punch
  • Color Printer
  • Postcard Back design (download PDF by clicking on link)
  • Paper Reindeer Postcard design (download PDF by clicking on link)
  • Hobby knife
  • Ruler
  • Cutting board
Instructions:
Download the 'Paper Reindeer Postcard' PDF from the link below and print out onto white card stock using a color printer. Using a pair of scissors, cut around the separate parts of the reindeer leaving some white around the edges. (Tip: You don't need to cut perfectly straight. In fact, a slightly irregular edge just creates a more whimsical, handmade feel.) Position the legs, antler and tail on the correct areas of the reindeer body and attach by punching holes and inserting and fastening craft brads. Cut out the 'happy holidays' banner, also leaving a white border around the edges.
Download the 'Postcard Back' PDF and print onto kraft card. Use a hobby knife, ruler and cutting board to cut to correct size.
Using double-sided tape, stick the banner to the bottom of the front of the postcard. Place a bit of double sided tape to the middle of the reindeer body to attach him to the center of your postcard.
