How to make a beautiful handmade teacher's day card

Hey everyone,
         After a long while, I'm back with an easy tutorial for a teacher's day card.It turned up nice and pretty.And the best aspect is it's 3D appearance.It looks like a box and as soon as you open the box.......bang , the box opens up and the walls start moving and slowly go down to reveal the beautiful inside of the card.This card can be made for any occasion and not just teachers day,like birthdays,anniversaries,invitation cards for ladies meet,kitty parties etc.

 

Another card -

 

 

So if you want to know how to make an elegant card which opens as a surprise for the recipient here is the tutorial to make it.

Material Required-

Handmade paper (red and green in my case) or any cardstock or thick paper

Fevicol,ruler,pencil,gel pens for writing

Embellishments (Ribbon,gem stones,paper flowers etc)

Skills required-

If you can handle measurements with rulers and scissors you can easily nail it.These cards were made by a fifth grader and a second grader with little help from outside.

Step by step tutorial for making the teachers day homemade card-

Step 1 -Take your handmade paper and cut it to the dimension 12" * 12" square.Then draw 2 horizontal lines(red lines) and 2 vertical lines (also red lines)  4 inches apart.I'm demonstrating on plain white paper so that you can see the lines really well.You can straightaway make the lines on your handmade or decorative paper.

Step 2- Now cut off the four corner piece(where it is written "Reject this piece")

Step 3-  Now you will be left with a piece that looks like this.Save the corner four pieces.

Let me tell you why.

If you use a paper that's double sided and has print on both the sides,you don't need those 4 pieces as the inside of the box is already nice and pretty.But hand made papers are usually very rough on the reverse side.It spoils the inside look of your card.So what I did was paste those 4 scrap pieces back on the 4 walls, so that the box had the same outer and inner shine.I also cut a 4*4 " square to cover the middle part.

Another alternate option that you have is to repeat steps 1-3 on another sheet of handmade paper and then glue the two of them back to back.

Step 4- This piece can now be folded like the picture below so that it starts looking like the beginning of the box.

How to make a 12 / 24 hour clock of thermocol / cardboard / cd for school project

Hello everyone,

              This is the first "guest post" of my blog.A little kid,a fourth grader made this 12 hour / 24 hour thermocol clock and I invited him over to write this post.This is also a good project for doing a best out of the waste kind of thing.The kid was in charge of everything from completing the project to taking the pictures.So without further ado here is the post.Over to him.

I have made a thermocol clock by first cutting out a piece of thermocol.

Then with the help of a compass,I marked the center point.The next step is make a groove at the back of thermocol.  

Then I removed the needles(by pulling them out) from the clock assembly and inserted the machine in the groove at the back of the thermocol as shown.You can use an old clock for getting the machine part or you could get it from the store where they sell clocks.They are easily available.  








 

On the opposite side,I pasted a paper and wrote the numbers 1 to12 in the outer circle & 13 to 24 in the inner circle.Therefore the clock can be read in both the 12 hour and 24 hour formats.Then I fixed the needles in the machine - first the hour one then the minute one and then the seconds one.  








So this was the project.Hope you can also make it!!!

See you soon,bye.

Well Thanks lil kiddo for writing this up.And that's it.The first guest post from a little kid .And yes you can also use a piece of cardboard or a CD to make this project.......:)
