this idea is from the "play make create" book by meri cherry and they are called "artist trading cards." but we are calling them "fan mail" because 1 - we don't have anyone to trade with (they will go to friends and family) AND 2 - the one rule about artist trading cards is the size. they are supposed to be 2.5 in x 3.5 in (since this is an actual thing - to trade the cards), but we are using index cards which are approximately 4 x 6 in.
so we painted index cards with tempera paint cakes and once dry we decorated with washi tape, lanyard string, glue and beads.
Sooo cute, sure I hope I get some in the mail. Maybe modge podge to give a nice finish.
