School Holiday Project - Making a 3D Card

It has been school holidays a couple of weeks ago and I spent a little time with my nieces and nephews when visiting the family. They always love doing crafts on these occassions and I was roped in to help. I did not have much with me, but we did manage to make some fun 3D cards. I show you how to do something similar with your own kids in today's blog.

I started with a blank A4 sized cardboard in white.

This was folded in half to form a card.

We then found some craft paper to use in our projects.

The papers were cut down to size.

Not having double-sided tape, we used glue to paste down the layers of paper.

Another layer was pasted in place.

I cut some shapes out of this paper with its bigger designs.

I tried the layout before glueing anything down.

We then found some mounting tape that we could use to give the card a 3D appearance.

The mounting tape was cut to fit the pieces.

Everything was then pasted in place.

My nephew had some neon colour pens to add accents to the card and I used a ruler to draw margins around the card.

The completed card.
