I love sending mail! My favorite part is addressing and decorating the envelopes! Just ask my family and friends… I tend to go overboard!
So, naturally, Christmas time is another opportunity for me to flex my creative fingers. Here’s a special holiday touch I added to the back of our Christmas card envelopes this year:
Our own little fingerprint reindeer! It’s quick, beautiful, and the best part is, it’s easy and cost next to nothing to do! All you need are your envelopes, a brown ink pad, and a red, black and brown marker.
Let’s get started!
Step One: Print or write your family names on the back of your envelope (I printed ours just above the flap).
Step Two: Roll your fingertip onto a brown ink pad, then press firmly above your name.
Step Three: Using a red marker (I used an Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker), draw a red nose onto your reindeer.
Step Four: Using a black marker (again, I used an Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker) draw two eyes onto each reindeer.
Step Five: Using your brown marker, draw antlers on each reindeer in your family.
And that’s it! Now your Christmas card envelopes have a unique touch, sure to bring a smile to your family and friends faces!
