Sunshine Yarn Card

A lazy summer day is a great time for your kids to write little notes to the people they care about. Recreating the summer sun with brightly colored yarn is easy on this cute homemade card.

Make It: Run a 9x6-1/4 inch piece of blue cardstock through your printer to add a sentiment, or simply write a cute phrase. Fold in half. Create the grass by randomly snipping chunks from green paper; glue to the card. Lightly trace a lid with a pencil to create the sun shape and use a ruler to draw lines for the sun's rays. Then add glue over the pencil lines and have your child help place the yarn on the glue, trimming away any excess. Fill in the inside of the sun in the same way, swirling the yarn around the center.
