Handmade Birthday Gift – Learn to make button greeting cards

It is quite happy for people to receive a handmade card that is made up of greeting or love messages. In this age, many people would like to use the computer to do the things they like. They will not want to use their hands to write something and they will just think that writing something is silly because they write better than writing. If you don’t want your children to abandon writing at such an early age, you should teach them the culture of writing, how to write letters.

Actually, it is a kind of art-based education. With this kind of upbringing, your children are likely to be more interested in doing something on their own rather than buying a lot of things that could waste money. They will know that handmade birthday gift is better than expensive gifts so they don’t try to be materialistic.

If your kids want to make some interesting cards instead of a plain boring plain card, you can teach them how to make button card. First, you can fold a card or paper in half. If you are going to mail this card to others, you must wrap the letter in the envelope.

So you can measure the size of the envelope and cut the paper to fit. You can use a ruler and pencils to mark the cut line before using a pair of scissors to do it. As mentioned above, this type of work is an art-based education. Therefore, you must work hard to teach your children that planning is important before doing anything.

After that, you can further cut your paper to make some special shapes. If you want to make a card in the shape of a holly leaf to represent winter, find out the shape of the holly leaf and cut out the card this way. If your children love animals, you can also teach them to cut the cardboard into the corresponding shapes. Of course, your kids may not understand much about the actual shape of those animals, and they may not know how to cut them well. You need to do your research beforehand and teach them when necessary.

You can then try to find out if there are any buttons around your house that could be used to make the card. You should try to find strong glues to glue the buttons into position. You can also add ribbons or bows to this card to make things beautiful.

This type of design could also be used as a handmade birthday gift. You can teach your children that they can use this type of gift to express their love to the recipient.

Therefore, you should remind them to leave spaces to write some words on the cards if you know that your children are going to send such cards to others with a message included. And you have to remember that the buttons should not be crowded on one side or else the card will bend.
