Here is the idea to make a special “cactus birthday card“.

 

TOOLS

To make this DIY birthday card you only need:

  • a white paper sheet
  •  green paper sheets (at least in 3 different colors)
  • decorated and colored sheets (use and reuse what you have at home)
  •  scissors and glue
  • and the secret tool:  your fantasy!

STEP ONE:

Choose a green sheet to cut two different shapes: an hearth and a leaf.

Then follow the second picture to make the paper plant.

Then following  your fantasy and tools make many different plants in colors and shapes.

You can choose a color to make a flower and different layers of green paper to make the Cactus plant more real with spines.

The following one with a pink flower is the one i prefer the most 🙂

The sky is the only limit for your fantasy!
