The Basic Card:
A piece of card stock folded in half makes a good base for the card. Use a ruler to find the middle of the card. Ask your mom or dad to help you if you need to. When you've found the middle of the card, use the ruler by holding it down through the middle and folding the birthday card along its edge. This will give you a nice, sharp fold.
Send Him Yourself:
Glue a picture of yourself on the front of the card. A cute photo of you will always make friend a smile. Get mom or dad to take a special one if you have thought about it ea
Make a Collage:
Stick lots of small pictures of the whole friends on the front of the card if you prefer.rly enough. Hold up a sign wishing him happy birthday, or give him a thumbs up. Cut the pictures into shapes that fit well together using paper scissors.
Friend's Hobbies:
Other pictures you could choose to stick on the front of your card should be special to your friend If he likes golf or fishing, cut pictures of these activities out of old magazines to put on the card.
Do Your Own Artwork:
Using crayons, markers or paints (with the permission of mom and dad, and on top of a newspaper to avoid making a mess) create a picture yourself. Again, make it something special to friend, by painting his favorite pet, for example. You can always look at some ready-made friend birthday cards to give you some ideas.
Bits and Pieces:
Using glue, stick anything you find pretty and eye-catching on the front of the card. Go wild with glitter and fill in gaps with florescent pens. Make the card a riot of color and it's sure to brighten Friend's day.
Fill With Love:
The inside of the card is also important. Write a short poem if you can or ask mom or dad to find a poem for you online. Or, just write "HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRIEND!" in large letters, maybe covering the letters in glue and sprinkling them with glitter, or coloring each letter differently.
