double color card sheet

Make beautiful holders for your writing and painting tools using colorful card paper!

Age: 5+

Duration: 10 minutes

You’ll Need:

• R39301 Tube Crafts

• R22052 Double Color Sheets

• Tape

• Scissors

The R39301 Tube Crafts will be used to make the tubes for the holders.

Select one flat sheet of the Tube Crafts and cut it all the way across using the midpoint notch as a guide.

After you have cut across the sheet, you should have two separate templates to make smaller tubes.

Roll up several of the tubes in various sizes.

Next, cut little slits into the bottom edge of each tube. Space the slits at about ½” apart.

Press the tabs outwards to make the tubes stand more securely. Tape them down onto a flat sheet of Double Color Card paper.

And voila! A great way to keep all your desk tools in one neat little area. We suggest using 3 tubes at a time because they provide stability for holding various objects. Use the tubes to store your favorite colors of markers, pencil crayons, Goo Spreaders, paintbrushes, pipettes and more!

This wreath is nice and compact to be hung off a doorknob or can be tacked to the center of a child’s room door. Hang up on a tree for a rustic “crafty” look!

We are going to make a simple wreath out of tissue paper and card paper, using the buttons as ornaments to decorate it. Use coordinating colors to make your wreath. You don’t have to make the wreath exclusively for the holidays. Instead, you can adapt it based on different colors that are relative to various seasons! Test out different combinations of colors and materials to see which work best.

Let’s start with making the wreath.

Fold the sheet of Double Color Card sheet in half.

Use scissors to cut a small semi-circle out of the center of the folded sheet. Cut off the corners of the folded sheet and round out the edges to form a larger semi-circle.

Now, unfold the wreath.

Punch a hole into the top of the wreath. Cut a length of decorative ribbon and thread through the hole. Tie a knot at one end.

To add texture to your wreath, you will need to use our Tissue Circles, or find scraps of green tissue paper in your scrap paper box.

Take a scrap of green tissue paper and scrunch it in the center. Pull out the surrounding paper, much like you would when stuffing tissue paper into a gift bag.

Dab a bit of glue onto the wreath and press the scrunched tissue paper on top.

Add more tissue paper scraps all the way around the wreath.

Glue a Bright Button onto the center of each tissue paper section. Enjoy a beautiful but easy-to-make decoration for this holiday season!
