Fringy cards

After the holidays there are so many excellent reasons to send cards. Notes to hostesses, thank you notes for gifts, and the ongoing need for birthday cards.  Instead of rushing out to the store, why not make these  festive handmade fringy cards. All you will need is the following:

• set of blank notecards
• crepe paper
• scissors
• glue

1.  Depending on whether you want to make a vertical or horizontal card, measure the card to see how long your crepe paper strips should be and cut the strips accordingly.

2. Fold your crepe paper strips in half and make cuts every 1/4-1/8" to create your fringe. Once you have made your fringe add a thin line of glue to the top backside of your fringe and attach to your card. 

3. Continue to make fringe and attach to card as desired. 

Voila! A festive, easy to make thank you note that will stand out in the mail.
