Hello there! I know I just greeted you a start of a happy November last week and here I am sharing a Christmas craft for December. Well, surely everyone needs time to put up with the decorations and not to forget, sending Christmas greeting cards which are due before the actual day. And since this Christmas card tutorial that I’m going to share with you is going to need a little bit of time to make, I might as well post it early. Okay, let’s get the materials ready and start up your crafty engine!
Halo semuanya! Saya tahu ini masih awal bulan November tapi saya sudah boro-boro buat craft untuk Natal. Hari ini saya mau berbagi tutorial membuat kartu Natal dan karena butuh sedikit waktu untuk membuatnya, jadi jadwalnya postingannya juga agak awal supaya bila ada yang ingin membuatnya, masi ada waktu sampai hari Natal :) Dicoba yuk!
What you need | Yang anda butuhkan:
- Plain card (or make your own with thick paper) | Kartu polos (atau bisa dibuat sendiri dengan kertas yang agak tebal);
- Beads | Manik-manik;
- Needle & thread | Jarum & benang;
- Metalic origami (or you can use the foil) | Kertas origami metalik (atau aluminium foil);
- Scissors | Gunting;
- Pen, marker or pencil color | Pulpen, spidol atau pensil warna;
- Glue | Lem;
- [optional] Star puncher | Puncher bintang.
Step 1: Draw a triangle on your card lightly with a pencil.
Langkah 1: Gambar bentuk seditiga di atas kartu dengan pensil secara halus.
Step 2: Poke a hole at the base of the triangle and string your beads.
Langkah 2: Lubangi kertas dengan jarum dan rantai manik-maniknya.
Step 3: Pull the end of the beads to the peak of the triangle and and make a knot (just like when you are sewing).
Langkah 3: Tari ujung manik-manik ke puncak segitiga dan buat simpul (seperti saat menjahit).
Step 4: Continue bulding the beads structure. I would suggest to do it from both ways, right-left-right-left.
Langkah 4: Teruskan membangun struktur manik-manik. Saran saya untuk melakukannya dari dua arah, kanan-kiri-kanan-kiri.
Step 5: And you’ll get a beaded triangle like this (okay, mine looks like a corn).
Langkah 5: Dan anda mendapat segitiga yang dipenuhi manik-manik ini (oke, punya saya lebih mirip jagung).
Step 6: With the tip of your eraser, erase all the pencil lines.
Langkah 6: Dengan ujung penghapus, hapus semua garis pensil tadi.
Step 7: Punch a metalic star (or cut one!)
Langkah 7: Punch sebuah bintang metalik (atau gunting!)
Step 8: Paste your little star on top and write your grettings under the tree!
Langkah 8: Tempelkan bintang di atas dan tulis ucapan selamat natal anda di bawah pohon!
And we are done!
Dan selesailah kartu Natal kita!
I made two versions for this; a golden tree with a silver star and a white tree with a golden star (but of course, you can still stick to the classic green tree!) When you are done, seal it in an envelope and you are now ready to send out your sparkling beaded cards :)
Saya membuat dua versi untuk ini; satu pohon emas dengan bintang perak dan satunya lagi pohon putih dengan bintang emas (tapi tentunya anda boleh tetap menggunakan pohon hijau yang klasik itu!) Setelah anda selesai, masukkan ke amplop dan anda siap untuk mengirim kartu-kartu manik-manik anda :)

Oh, that’s a cute idea!
Although I’m not sure, if I would be patient enough, to do that for all my christmas-cards…… ;)
Love, Midsommarflicka

Thank you! Hahaha you can just apply some glue and stick them instead of stringing them :)
