Step by step process of making a fun birthday card using paper cut-outs.
Approximate Time: bit more than an hour
Supplies:
- scraps of colored paper
- 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.
And it's done!
