Wish a loved one a happy birthday by making them a special handmade birthday card with colourful buttons.

You will need:

• Buttons
• Colored card (yellow)
• Glue
• Black pen

Step 1:

Take a sheet of thin yellow cardstock (or any other colour of your choice) and fold in half. Use your finger or a ruler to press along the fold so the card will stay closed.

Glue a selection of brightly coloured buttons to the top half of the front of the card. Leave on a flat surface until the glue has dried to prevent the buttons from sliding off the card.

Step 3:

Using the black pen, draw a line from each button to a central point below the buttons. Make sure all the lines meet at the same point. Then draw a small bow where the lines meet to create a bunch of button balloons. Use the same pen to write “happy birthday” underneath the balloons. Then write your message inside and give to a friend or family!
