As the auspicious occasion is just a few hours away, and you all will be busy preparing for it. Why not make a wonder card and put all the loving, cute and funny thoughts inside and give to your loved ones when you hand the meat?
Right, so let’s start with our beautiful card, made with love for this Eid.
Things you need:
- Some pieces of colourful papers, 8 colours at least (choose the bright ones)
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- A pencil
- Marker
- Stickers (optional)
Directions:
Cut eight square-shaped pieces of papers (2.5 inches from all sides), picture 2.
Cut hearts from all these squares, and then highlight the edges of the hearts with a black marker, picture 3 and 4.
Cut a 10-inch long, 2.5-inch wide strip from black paper, pictures 5, 6.
Put a heart at the bottom of the strip and mark at its top, as shown in picture 7.
Mark at intervals of 1cm, eight times, because you have eight hearts, pictures 8 and 9.
Fold and make a crease at all the intervals horizontally, picture 10.
Paste each heart in each interval (only the curved part), picture 11.
Keep pasting the hearts until you reach at the end, fold the remaining strip behind, pictures 12 and 13.
Cut another 4-inch long and 1cm wide strip from the black paper, picture 14.
This thin small strip holds your waterfall card and make it work the way it should, all you have to do is put it behind the main folded strip and paste its right and lefts sides under the first heart at the bottom, picture 15.
The card is ready, write “Pull” on a tiny heart and paste it at the bottom of the hearts from where it is supposed to be pulled.
Write your messages, paste stickers on each heart — just play with your creativity!
