scissors or paper-cutting knife
glue
scale
pencil
sketch-pens
Instructions:
Note : I used colored papers to make it faster. If you don't have them, you can color white sheets of paper with paint or crayons and use them instead; it'll be more fun too :)
Take a rectangular piece of paper (I used the yellow one). Draw the outline (as shown in the image) and cut it accordingly.
Take another piece of paper, its height about one-third the previous one (I chose a pink paper for this). Draw the given outline and cut it in the same way.

Fold the sides of the pink cut-out and paste it on the yellow one to make a pocket (as shown).
Cut pieces of paper and glue them on the pocket as added decorations. You can even try out the popped cones for fun. For that, cut a slit in a square paper and glue the cut edges to make the cone shape and cut the base round. (see image)
Glue round shapes to decorate the top.You can even glue a rectangular piece and a flame-shaped cut-out to make the candle on top.
Then, finally you can put a paper with your message in the pocket.
