Materials
  • Blank card
  • Brown felt
  • Black or brown raffia for mane and tail
  • Scrap of leather or other material for saddle
  • Sellotape
  • Tracing paper
  • PVA glue
  • Small button or sequin for eye



  • Method
  • Horses are really hard to draw so if you can't draw one freehand the way you want it, try tracing one from a book using tracing paper.



  • Cut out the horse shape, then use your tracing paper template to cut out a horse shape from the brown felt.





  • Cut several lengths of raffia and snip each piece into several strands. Sellotape these on to the reverse side of your horse to make a mane and tail.





  • Cut out a saddle from a scrap of leather (or other fabric) and glue on with PVA glue.



  • Now glue the whole horse onto the blank card with PVA glue.
  • Glue on a tiny button or sequin for an eye using PVA glue (or super glue if needed).



  • Your little horse greeting card is now ready to send.
