Dazzling Birthday Candle Card
Make a wish for a friend! Celebrate extra-special birthdays with this dazzling, 3-D card that takes the cake.
1. Make the candles. Cut small paper squares with Crayola Scissors to make one candle for each year you’re celebrating. Decorate with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils. Roll squares into tubes and seal with Crayola School Glue. Draw, color, and cut out a pretend flame for each candle. Glue flames into candles.
2. Decorate your card. Fold construction paper in half to form a tent. Design a snazzy card cover with your colored pencils and Crayola Glitter Glue. Air-dry the glue.
3. Open the card. Write your message on the top half. Fold a 2-inch (5 cm) tab up from the bottom. Fold the tab in half to make a "cake." Glue candles into the cake. Decorate the cake with glitter glue, sequins, and beads. Air-dry the glue.
4. Decorate an envelope. Make a matching envelope. When everything is dry, your card is ready to give!
