Do It Yourself Pop-up Birthday Card
To make this, you will need:
Patterns, a link to them is in the description
Cardstock or other heavy weight paper
Hot glue or a glue stick
Tape
Scissors
Sharpie or other marker
Pencil
Start by cutting out all the pattern pieces
Next, trace each pattern onto paper, cut the pieces out, and fold where there are fold lines.
Center the plate piece in the card, then glue it on
With cake pattern #2, center it on the plate. Make sure its edge is against the back of the card.
Mark the front edge, this marks where cake pattern #1 needs to be attached.
Line up the cake pattern on this mark
Glue or tape the bottom tab to the card
Line cake pattern #2 up with the cake pattern, and attach it with tape
Attach one end of a piece of tape to cake pattern #2
Then attach the other end to the back of the card
Repeat this a few more time until it is secure
Glue the 4 remaining candles to the back of the card
Use the marker to draw a string for the banner
Arrange 5 banner pieces evenly along the string, then glue them on
Repeat this process with the remaining 8 pieces on the bottom of the card
Write "Happy Birthday" across the banner pieces
You can add the person's name centered at the bottom
You can stop here if you'd like, or you can draw on more details
That's it! Thanks for watching :)
