Crafts by Taryn: A colourful birthday card

Hello readers! It's Taryn here, with her very first how-to blog!
I'm going to teach you how to make a easy, pretty birthday card! With photos!

You will need:

One piece of paper, any colour
A pair of scissors
Fabric, in a variety of colours and textures
A marker, any colour
Glue
It takes approximately 20 minutes to make.


Step 1: Cut out 16 (sixteen) circles of your chosen fabrics. I used some that came in a child's sewing kit.

Step 2: Fold a piece of paper in half.  Lay out three circles of your chosen fabric in the upper-left corner on the front of the card. It should look like the image below.

Step 3: Lay down four circles of your choice below the top row.

Step 4:  Lay down an additional four circles below the second row.

Step 5: Lay down 1 circle. Then, write a small message beside it, like "I love you!" or "I'm sorry" or "Happy Easter" or whatever you made the card for. I made it for a friend celebrating her 13th birthday, so I wrote ''Happy 13th," on the front. Then place an additional circle beside it. It should look like this:

 Step 6: Lay down three circles in the bottom row.

Step 7: Glue them all down. The glue may take a while to dry, but I used a glue stick, which doesn't take that long.

Step 8: You know how the corners are empty? Draw bows across them. Like this:

Once you've drawn them in the two exposed corners, you're done! Your finished card should look like this:
