Top Tip
If you fix wooden letters onto a sticky tape for painting, just stick down a few millimetres at the edges so they are easy to lift after the paint has dried.
How to Make
- Stick a piece of starry sky paper onto a piece of A5 card then fold the card in half. The card can be used as it is, or made into a pop-up design.
- To make a pop-up, fold the A5 card with the patterned paper in the middle.
- To make the pop-up strip, mark 2 x 2cm parallel lines, 2cm apart, at right angles from the folded edge.
- Cut along the 2 lines fold then fold the strip over to make a crease, fold it back then open the card and lift up the strip.
- Select some wooden letters for your Eid message.
- Stick a strip of double-sided tape onto card, lightly stick the edges of the letters on top to hold them in place then paint the letters gold, or use another colour. Leave to dry.
- Make some moon and star elements for your card design.
- Cut out some printed star shapes from the patterned paper, stick them onto glittery card and cut around the edge to make a border.
- Add metallic pearls as decoration on the stars. Or, stick small self-adhesive glitter foam stars onto bigger stars.
- To make a cut-out moon, draw a 7-8cm diameter circle onto the reverse side of glittery or metallic card.
- Draw a crescent shape inside the circle then cut it out.
- Arrange the moon and star shapes onto the card background with the lettering to check everything fits then stick them in position.
- For a pop-up card, stick a cut-out moon shape onto the folded strip in the middle.
- Decorate large letters with gems for extra sparkle.
