Quick Ideas For Christmas

Christmas is one of the most exciting times of the year, but can also be one of the most frantic! Getting the house in order, decorating, buying presents and stocking the cupboards full of seasonal foods all take time and can often take the fun out of preparing for the holiday season.

Bostik Sticki Dots can come in very handy. Individually formed multipurpose adhesive glue dots, they can be used for a range of applications. Sticki Dots can help you to make the most of your time in the run up to the festive period, and put the personal touch back into Christmas.

Personalised Christmas Cards

There’s nothing like the personal touch, and nothing says it better than making your own Christmas Cards. Impress your friends and family by using Bostik Sticki Dots to make beautiful home-made cards, the pre-formed glue dots will avoid the mess of glue and create your own stylish designs.

1. Christmas Tree Cutout

  • Using a bright, red card, fold and cut so that the front is only two thirds as deep as the back.
  • Draw a simple Christmas tree shape to fit along the edge of the card fron and attach with three Sticki Dots.
  • Decorate the front of the tree using Sticki Dots, glitter and red bows like ours – or create your own design.

2. Peace On Earth

  • Select a good quality card - we've used a gold card - fold and cut to size.
  • Cut a square and oblong out of a contrasting colour card. Here we used white.
  • Cut a star shape out of a third colour. We chose pink.
  • Using a gold pen write your Christmas message on the small oblong card
  • Using Sticki Pads to give a 3-D effect attach the square, oblong and star shaped as shown in our picture.
  • Complete the effect by attaching a small decorative button to the star using a Sticki Dot.

3. Modernist Pattern

  • Use a good quality, brightly coloured card, like the blue we have used.
  • Attach several Sticki Dots in a pattern of your choice. Here we used a simple grid pattern.
  • Uncover the dots and sprinkle glitter over the card, shaking off any excess.
  • We've also attached a contrasting bead to each Sticki Dot.
  • Complete by adding a Christmas message.

4. Parcel Card

  • For an alternative decoration for a modern card try our parcel design.
  • Cut your card to size and fold.
  • Using Sticki Dots attach some decorative confetti.
  • Make a parcel label and write a Christmas message on it and punch a single hole in it
  • Make a small slit in the fold and thread gift tape through,cross over and secure through the parcel label in a bow on the front.

5. Parcel Card

  • Select good quality card, fold in half, then in half again to create a double thickness.
  • On the front cut out a frame.
  • Draw your party girl, colour and cut out. Using Sticki Dots attach the figure to a gold card backround.
  • Using Sticki Tape on the inside of the frame, attach the party girl picture.
