I know you can use coke but we don't have any so can I use vinegar? Thanks! :)
What I would do is I would create some way to use a santa hat and a stockingPeople love that!
Well for my Christmas cardsI draw memories with the people and for the writing I did new paper clippings to spell everything outAlso for some I took old Christmas pictures and printed them out and made a cataloged of picturesBut if you don't want to do something like that then you can make pop up snow man Santa etcIts also fun to cut the holiday coke pictures out and use them for cards.
A good idea to make Christmas cards is to draw present, a tree with a star and some ornaments, Christmas stickers and glitterTo get you can go to a craft store you knowAlso paper not computer paper because it it to lightYou can go on the computer and type what to writeYou can change the color of the words if you want toAlso can decorate the border that is Christmas likeYou put the glitter for the name you are giving to on the envelope and some stickers.
This is what I'm doing next year.get a roll of thin copper sheeting from the craft store and cut pieces about 3x3You can cut them with an old pair of scissorsDraw a pattern on a piece of paper for a squiggle tree.you have probably seen them in ads and on rubber stampsTape the pattern to a piece of copper and use an old,dry ball point pen or an embossing stylus to trace the tree,pressing firmlyUse an old mouse pad underneath or several layers of newsprint to cushion the copper from the tableNow on the other side of the copper,you will have a raised version of the treeGet a pad of embossing ink, some Verdigris embossing powder and a heat gunLightly tap the raised lines of the tree on the ink pad then sprinkle on the powder,shaking off the excessHeat with the gun until the powder has melted into a speckled green and is adhered to the copperNow mount the copper plate to a 3 1/2 square of cardstock and then to a larger cardIf you have a rubber stamp that says Merry Christmas, stamp on the card below the picture and apply more powder and heat embossThe nice thing about using a heat gun on copper is that the copper becomes multicolored from the heat.
Don't use vinegar on metailIt will turn copper, silver and aluminum blackDon't know about nickel or steelAnd don't use ketchup like that other guy suggests because it has vinegar in itLine a glass bowl with aluminum foil and sprinkle in some dishwasher soapIt can be liquid or powderSoak your coins in it and stir them aroundThey'll brighten right upWhen I was a teen I worked as a dishwasher and we used to do this with our silverware.
