Clowning around...

So yesterday Sharanya and I were watching Mister Maker and he made a pop up card that gotsharanya really excited... So here goes... (we didn't get it right in the first attempt...)

What you need for a pop up clown card is:


What??? The photo didn't help... well here goes - Card Paper, glue, googly eyes, crepe paper and coloured paper (the hero).

Fold the card into half and draw the clown


Leave out details like the eyes and nose and stick on googly eyes, crush and roll a piece of crepe paper for the nose. Add some stars or glitter and decorate the clown's cap



Now for the important part. Take a strip of coloured paper and fold it like a fan, this becomes the clowns frilly collar.


Stick it on below the clown to one side of the fold like in the picture below...


Put some glue on top of the coloured paper you have stuck and then close the card...



Open the card... and voila!!!



Don't worry if the first try doesn't work... ours didn't either... It looked like this -


Sharanya is trying to redeem it by putting a cherry on top... by the way its supposed to be a cup cake...
