Thank You Card DIY
You finally made it to the section that I am most excited about. I think the sweetest thank you cards are the ones that you make yourself. So I am going to walk you through how to go about doing that! I will also give you instructions on how to WRITE a class thank you card.
First, you need to stock up on some of the most important supplies. Luckily, this craft really only requires two: Paper and pens. The links below will show you the ones that I will be using.
If you are more artistically inclined, then you can get a blank card and draw your own little doodle on it to make it pretty.
But for the sake of this DIY, I got some simple blank watercolor flower cards that will do the trick.
Supplies
- Watercolor Flower Cards
- Writing Pens
- Ruler
- Pencil & Eraser
Once you get these, we can begin.
Thank You Cards for Teens – Step One: Plan
You are going to want to plan out what you are going to say. You will be writing in pen, so it’s important to know what you want to say before you start writing. Otherwise, you could mess up the whole card.
Every thank you card includes a few things: Saying thank you, the person’s name, and how what they did impact you. I will give you an example, “Uncle Matt, I am writing this note to say a big thank you for your help with planning my mom’s party. I couldn’t have done it without you. – Natalie”
Obviously, this is going to look different depending on what occasion you are thanking them for. You can get as detailed with it as you like. I would recommend getting a separate piece of paper to write it down. That way you can use what you want to say as a reference when you transfer it onto the note card.
Step Two: Make Light Pencil Lines
Next, you are going to want to use your pencil and eraser to make light lines going down your card. These are going to act as your guide as you write out your thank you. The neater the handwriting, the sweeter the card. You don’t need to write fancy; when the time comes, your handwriting is just fine.
But having your lines straight will make the whole card feel more put together.
Thank You Cards for Teens – Step Three: Write
Now you just have to write! Take your time, and mentally cross every word once you write it down. This way, you get the exact phrase you are going for.
Once you are done, you may put it in the envelope and either add the address and stamp(if you are mailing it) or you can just put the person’s name and drop it off at their mailbox. There you have it! You have created your very own thank you cards for teens!
I hope you loved this list of thank you cards for teens that you can buy(or make). I love putting together DIYs, so if you liked this one, you have to check out some other ones of mine. I think you will get a kick out of this!
Sending thank you cards is a dying art form in today’s day in age. But you can personally see to it that the tradition never dies. These note cards are personal, and lovely, and make the recipient feel how much you appreciate them and what they did.
So send your note cards! Send them for any occasion, big or small. You are guaranteed to get a smile out of the person when they open it, and that is what it’s all about.
