Mother's Day is coming up on 18 March. Help the children in your care make a special present with a co-ordinated handmade 'shaker' card and flower vase.
MOTHER'S DAY SHAKER CARD
A 'shaker' card is a two-dimensional version of a snow globe. Loose sequins or glitter are trapped in a cellophane pocket so that they move about when you shake the card. Although shaker cards look impressively complicated, they are easy to make at home.
You will need:
an aperture card or blank folded card; craft knife, metal ruler and cutting board; clear cellophane (available from most art and craft shops or stationers); coloured card; sequins; glitter or glass seed beads; double-sided tape; scissors; glue; stickers, paints, felt pens, bows and other items for decorating the front of the card About the materials: An aperture card is a blank greetings card with a hole cut into the front.
