7 DIY "Talking" Card

Here is another craft I learned as a child.  It is perfect for kids to make for any occasion, especially Easter! Add lots of color, a splash of sparkle and it can transform into something fabulous.

Materials Needed:

Cardstock and colored computer paper

Glue Stick

Markers

Scissors

1.  Fold the computer paper in half. 

2.  Fold it in half again.

3.  Fold down top right corner.  (See picture below).

4.  Unfold.  Cut a slit in the middle of the diamond you just made.

5.  Push top and button "triangles" into the inside of the card to form the mouth.

6.  Open paper flat.

 

7.  Fold the cardstock in half.  Find the center and color it in red (so that the inside of the mouth is red when card is opened).

8.  Glue the bird onto the cardstock, decorate and voila! you are done. 

We have made this card lots of times... one with arms outstretched asking for a hug, many saying happy birthday, etc.  Kids love to make it and they can be really creative with this.

Happy card making!
