| Fold two
pieces of paper or thin card in half. One piece will be the outside
of the card and one piece will be the inside. |
|
On the
piece that will be the inside, cut two short lines near the middle
of the fold. |
|
Fold the
two outside flaps that you just made (but do not fold the middle
flap). Unfold the flaps. |
|
Open the
card. Push the two flaps towards the inside of the card - they
will form 2 step-like protuberances. |
|
|
Refold
the card. Cut two short lines through both the folded flaps
on the sides. Fold the outside flaps that you just made. Unfold
the flaps. |
 |
|
Open the
card. Push the two flaps towards the inside of the card - they
will form 4 more step-like protuberances. |
|
Cut some
small flowers, stems and leaves from stiff paper. Decorate them
with crayons or felt tip pens if you like. |
|
Glue the
flowers to the flaps. Make sure that the flowers do not stick
out of the card when the card is closed. |
|
Glue
the card to the other piece of folded card. To make sure that
you do not glue the flaps down, apply the glue only to the outside
of the inner card and then carefully place it on the outer card.
