It is always nice to give away handmade cards to people who are special to you. Here is one i made, its pretty simple, any one can do it ( even an 8 year old ) :D doesn't require special skills, just a little but of cutting and wrapping and you're done!
Things you need:
- A thick paper for card making ( any paper would do )
- Another Colored Paper for Card Frame ( Can be thick or thin )
- Plenty of Crepe Paper to wrap around the frame
- Another colored paper for heart shape and spirals
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
- Water colors ( not necessary/up to you)
- Scaled ruler to measure and cut out the paper and frame
Step 1: Cut out a 4 x 8 inch thick paper ( or any size you want, bigger or smaller ). Make sure one dimension is the double of another so that you can fold it into a square.
Step 2: Cut out the frame for the paper, measure the outside of the frame to be same as that of your card so it can fit on the edges of the card. Cut out the strip about half an inch off the crepe paper and wrap the frame with crepe paper as shown below.
Step 3: Select another colored paper ( any color you want ) and scrunch it to make it wrinkly. Cut out a heart shape from this paper ( only after scrunching it )
Step 4: Glue it all together ! Voila , you re done! :D
Step 5: Give yourself a pat on the shoulder ( not kidding -_- )
I did it in a hurry, you can be neater =]
