Colourful Window Greeting Card

Posted 2013-02-16 by Jane Street ⇒ follow
Bright cards for any occasion


These colourful window cards make great Thank You or Birthday cards. As no glue is needed for sticking on the sequins, it's a very fun but easy activity for younger children. Only a little help is needed from an adult to cut the window and assemble the card.

Time: 15 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Medium

Materials
  • Construction paper or thin card
  • Sticky back plastic
  • Sequins, glitter, feathers or other decoration items
  • Glue stick

    • Materials ready to go


    Method
    First we will make the window
  • Cut out two squares of sticky back plastic, one slightly large than the other. The smallest one should be just slightly larger than the size of window you want to have in your card.

    • Sticky back squares to make the window


  • Peel the paper backing off the smaller square of sticky back plastic and lay on the table, sticky side up
  • Now arrange the sequins, glitter or other decoration items onto the sticky surface

    • No glue here means that its very fun and easy for young children

    Glitter fun


  • Peel the backing off the larger square and lay this on to the decorated square, sticky side to stick side.

    • WIndow finished


    Now it's time to make the card
  • Fold your construction paper or light card into 3 sections and open up



  • Fold the top section onto the middle section then draw the shape of your window
  • Cut out the window shape. You can cut both layers together in the same cut.

    • window hold cut through the top two layers


  • Stick the decorated window over the cut out hole. There should be a little sticky border to hold it down



  • Now glue the two cut out sections of the card together


    • Card finished


    You could try a tree or star shape window for Christmas or a heart shape window for Valentines Day or Mother's Day.

    Try different shapes of window
