Card Design #8 - make a wish

Today's card is a happy birthday card! Yay! I love giving people gifts, especially if I can make them something, including a lovely card.

I have seen these paper straws all over the internet lately, when I saw them in my local supermarket I was a little over excited.

These cards are so simple to make, but are different from the normal/unexciting cards you can buy.

All you need is

• Paper straws
• Blank card
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Coloured pens
• White wool

Simply cut your straws to your desired length. Dab a small amount of hot glue in one end of the straw and insert one end of the wool. Once the glue has dried, cut the wool, so only a small amount is left out the straw, like a candle.

Then run a line of hot glue down the length of the straw, then fix to your card. Write your message underneath and there you have it!
