Idea 04 Look to the Coloring Book

Pictured: Design Your Own Flat Cards

Do you have a flair for illustration? Use your gift to prompt momentary peace and escape by creating postcards that friends and family can color in.

So draw something up, scan it, and create a stack of homemade postcards sure to bring zen (and smiles) to everyone’s faces.
