DIY Birthday card

It was my little nephew, Rex's birthday last week so I decided to make a birthday card for him.  The card that I made was pretty cool because it can also be used as a little name plate.



How to make it:
Step 1:
- take a piece of construction/cardboard paper, fold it in half 
- cut out a rectangle out of a piece of white paper that is one inch smaller all around than the blue card

Step 2:
- Punch 3 holes at the top (side with the fold) 
- string a piece ribbon through the two sides, come back through the front and tie a bow


Step 3:
- cut out block letters of the name of the person whom you wish to give the card to
- glue the block letters onto another piece of paper so you can cut a border about the block letters


Step 4:
- on the inside of the card, cut out another rectangle out of a piece of white paper which is one inch all around smaller than the card (you can make a border for it if you like)
- either type/write some birthday phrases/messages on the white rectangle ( you can also add other decorations like stickers or more ribbons, etc)

 Step 5: 
- glue the block letters to the front of the card and decorate it as you wish (mine has a sticker of a train at the bottom because Rex likes trains)



MY ADORABLE LITTLE NEPHEW!
