With printable templates, simple tutorials and basic craft supplies, you can whip up some pretty DIY holiday cards in no time (and for a minimal cost). Plus, the extra handmade touch will show how much you're thinking of loved ones and that your well wishes are genuine. Flip through the slideshow below to find some of our favorite handmade card tutorials, and click on the links to learn how to make them yourself.
