From splatter stencils and paper collages to Santa chains and pom-pom snowmen, these five cards not only make great gifts but they're a delight to make with your kids.

Sweet Wreath

Materials:
Scissors
1 sheet of fun foam (green, blue, or other holiday color)
Hole punch
8-inch length of ribbon
About 20 candy wrappers
Craft glue

Directions:
1. Cut two 5-x-6-inch pieces from the foam. Stack pieces; cut off excess from sides so the two pieces line up.

2. Punch two holes through both layers at top. Thread ribbon through the holes and tie into a bow.

3. Fold or scrunch up wrappers and glue in a circle to the front of the card.
