This year, skip the store-bought cards and let the kids make their own at this free Hallmark-designed workshop at Michaels.

Using masking tape and a paint-scraping technique, everyone creates a one-of-a-kind holiday card with bold, layered colour. The process is a little messy and very forgiving, which makes it great for beginners.

The workshop is recommended for ages 6 and up. It’s the second half of a two-part Hallmark series, but you don’t need to attend part one to join in.
