DIY Fabric Postcards for Valentine’s Day
I made some DIY postcards to send to some of my family and friends for Valentine’s Day. This project was quick, inexpensive, and is another great use for fabric scraps. Who doesn’t love receiving mail? Especially when it’s a punny card chosen specifically for you or sent for no reason in particular other than to say hi.
