5 Vintage-Look Holiday Craft Projects

These easy-make sewn yarn cards add the finishing touch to a teacher's gift basket or grandparent's present. Help your children draw shapes or pick out a pattern and allow them to pick colors and sew the yarn.

Cut colored card stock to a slightly smaller size than pre-folded blank cards. To hand draw your designs, use a pencil to lightly sketch out a shape, then use a needle tool to make holes for sewing in the card stock. If you are using our downloadable patterns (see link below), print out the pattern and lay it on top of the card stock and use a needle tool to transfer the pattern of holes to the card stock. Then remove the pattern and pierce the holes completely.

Thread yarn through a needle and sew, using the needle holes as a guide. Knot or tape yarn ends to back of card stock. Glue or tape the card stock onto the prefolded cards. If you like, glue embellishments like the small bow shown on the wreath card.
