How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials
To carry out this activity, you will need:
- a wooden crafting ruler
- acrylic paint and a paintbrush
- alphabet stickers
- felt star stickers
To create the card, you will need:
- a strong white A4 card (300 g/m³)
- masking tape
- alphabet stickers
- a bow tie sticker
- a photo
- a pair of scissors
- a glue stick
Step 1
Paint the wooden meter with acrylic paint and let it dry for about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Decorate the meter by sticking adhesive letters to form the word "DAD" as well as colorful felt stars.
Step 3
To make the card, cut a rectangle of 21 x 10 cm from a thick white card (i.e., an A4 sheet cut into 3).
Step 4
Decorate the edges of the card with masking tape.
Step 5
Cut and then paste a photo at the bottom of the card.
Step 6
Stick adhesive letters at the top of the card to form the word "DAD".
Step 7
Write "I love you..." below the word DAD.
Step 8
Draw the markings of a ruler on the edge of the card to give a little nod to the measuring tape that will be offered with the card.
Step 9
Complete the "I love you" by writing circumstantial complements to align with the graduations.
For example:
- more than anything
- to madness
- passionately
- a lot
You can then circle your preferred complement.
Étape 10
Finish the card by sticking a nice paper bow at the top of it.
