Use Glitter Glue To Make Christmas Cards

Updated on September 30, 2016

Using glitter glue is a decorative and economical way to design handmade Christmas cards. All you need for making handmade cards is glitter glue, a package of blank cards, a drawing pencil, and green, red, and gold colored pencils. Below are a few pictures that I took of the glitter glue cards that I designed this Christmas season.

Above is the video I made featuring the glitter glue Christmas cards that I created.

The silver glitter glue used to trace over the Merry Christmas text almost looks as delectable as silver frosting piped on a glittery Christmas cake. Of course glitter glue is not edible, but you could make edible frosting if you wanted to decorate a Christmas cake.
