Project Notes:
- You can draw on the shirt to give it a personalized touch! Try drawing stripes, flowers, or polka dots onto the shirt with crayons or markers.
- Embellishments are also super fun to add and they make every card unique! Try buttons (like the cards shown) sequins, Pom poms, ribbon and more!
- If you need a little more help, be sure to check out the video tutorial too!
Instructions:
- Begin by folding a piece of construction paper in half.
- Next, grab the second sheet and cut out a rectangle about 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall.
- At the top of the rectangle make two cuts about 1 inch down and 1.5 inches inward.
- Fold the two tabs inward to make a “collar”
- Next, to make the tie, flip origami/gift wrap over to the blank side and draw a tie shape onto it (need some help, check out the video where I show exactly how to draw it).
- Cut out the tie and glue it to the from of the shirt, tucking it just under the collar.
- Glue the collar down and glue a button to each collar point.
- Glue shirt to the from of the card.
- Let the glue dry overnight.
- When glue is dry, you can write messages in the card and then gift it to someone special!
