Frugal Card Making Ideas...

Frugal card making is a great way to make handmade cards, especially with children, without having to spend lots of money on the latest fashionable 'must haves'.

People used to come into my shop and say they loved card making but 'isn't it expensive'... and I used to say well no, it doesn't have to be!

So, this method of card making will be great fun if you...

• like to recycle
• want to be creative with normal household items!
• need discount craft supplies
• have children

Don't see it as having to 'make do', see it as a challenge - what can you create from bits of scrap or what you already have at your disposal?

You may even be more satisfied with a card that you have managed to put together by being frugal than if you went out and bought lots of pre-made embellishments and fancy bits and pieces.

Your cards do not have to be fancy either - many times 'less is more'.
