Christmas Folding Pop Stick Card

How to Make

1. Take 5 wooden craft sticks and use a red felt tip pen to colour them red. Take another 5 and colour them green.
2. Measure the length of the wooden craft sticks, then cut two pieces of yellow paper with the width slightly smaller than that length.
3. Take one of the red craft sticks and stick a piece of double-sided tape onto the back and peel off the backing. Then stick the red craft stick onto the bottom of one of the sheets of yellow paper.
4. Repeat Step 3 with the red and green craft sticks, alternating the colours. Once you have stuck all ten craft sticks down, trim the rest of the paper off at the end.
5. Turn the sticks over and put a strip of double-sided tape onto the top of each craft stick and peel off the backing. Then place the other sheet of yellow paper on top of the sticks and trim off the end.
6. On one side of the paper use the coloured pens to write “'Merry Christmas'”. Then turn the card over and write your note on the other side.
7. Get an adult to use a craft cutting knife to score the paper along every other gap in the sticks. Then turn the card over and repeat, making sure you don't score along the line that is cut on the other side.
8. Trim a piece of red ribbon approximately 30cm long. Concertina fold the sticks and tie the ribbon around them in a bow to hold them in place.
