Pop-Up Witch Card

Why

Surprise! Whether it's a witch, black cat, or ghost, these cards will be pop-ular with family and friends.


Steps

1. Fold construction paper to form your card. Make creative folds to add to the mystery. Decorate the front with a Halloween theme using Crayola® Colored Pencils.

2. On white paper, draw and color a witch or other Halloween character. Cut it out with Crayola Scissors.

3. Cut a strip of paper about as long and wide as your finger. Fold it back and forth to make accordion pleats. With a Crayola Glue Stick, attach the strip to the back of the witch and the inside of your card. Add a Halloween greeting.
