PHOTO CARD
Submitted by: Amanda Formaro [Amanda is the crafty, entrepreneurial mother of four children.]
Grade: all
Age: all
Activity Summary:
We all have them, photos of our kids that didn't make it into frames or albums. Well grab some construction paper or card stock, a photo and some glue and make this adorable little card. Give as a gift to friends or relatives!
What You Need:
- construction paper or card stock
- photo
- scissors
- glue
- glitter
- sheer ribbon
What You Do:
- Fold paper or card stock in half to create a card. Have your child write their greeting inside the card FIRST.
- Cut photo out in a heart shape.
- Glue photo to the front of the card, center it and put it high enough to allow space for the bow at the bottom (see photo).
- Lay down some newspaper, wax paper, or other paper and set your card on that to catch excess glitter. Use glue to pipe a thick border around the photo. Sprinkle the glitter generously over the glue border, be sure to completely cover all of the glue. Let dry about 20 minutes.
- While the glue is drying, tie your ribbon into a bow and trim off the long ends.
- Once the glue is dry, carefully lift the card up and tap off all excess glitter.
Note to parents: Use the newspaper to funnel the excess glitter back into your glitter container to use on another project.
Place a dab of glue onto the back of the ribbon and adhere to the card under your photo.
Tip: Change the color of the card stock, and even the ribbon, to use this idea for other holidays, such as Mother's Day, Christmas, and birthdays!
