My boys send cards and things back to NC for the holidays. I need some ideas for them to make that would fit into a 6"x9" envelope, light weight, and cheap because there are a lot of relatives to send to. They are tired of just making cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I made this with my kids a few years back and it's still up on my fridge (and at both grandmas' houses).
You can buy those foam sheets. They come in different colours. You can get them at craft stores and even dollar stores. They even have flowers and butterflies and other things made out of them, a whole package for really cheap.
I bought that paint in a tube that you can write on fabric with, that is elevated and dries hard. I comes in different colours. They buy a roll of magnet tape, peel the back and cut to size and stick on the back.
The kids made photo frames, one solid piece one cut and hot glued all but the top and slipped a photo in it. So instant frame for the fridge and was so cute and it's lightweight and you can mail it no problem. You can make animals too, flowers, a Christmas tree or ornament too...your imagination is the limit.

you know those cd's that you get in the mail from america online, or even blank cds, whatever. Buy some stickers, some permanent makers, use the shinny side, let them decorate it. Put a picture of them in the middle where the hole is. Attach a magnet to the back....perfect dual purpose gift.
