How to Make Free Thank You Note Cards

A personal, handmade thank-you card shows your appreciation.

When someone has done something nice for you, it is customary and thoughtful to give the person a thank-you note expressing how much you appreciate the kindness. Although you can purchase thank-you notes from a supermarket, the note can mean a lot more when you make it yourself from simple materials, such as construction paper, glitter and craft glue. Once finished, the handmade note cards can fit inside an invitation-sized envelope.
