This craft project calls for the use of glue and scissors. Before beginning, get either help or the "go-ahead" from a responsible adult.

Yarn Card

1. Fold a sheet of paper in half. Write a message or draw a picture inside the card.
2. Draw a simple holiday picture on the front of the card.
3. Trace with glue the lines of the design.
4. Press colored yarn on the glued lines.

Foil-Backed Window Card

1. Fold in half a sheet of dark construction paper, 6 inches by 12 inches. Write a message or draw a picture inside the card.
2. Draw a design on construction paper of a lighter color, 2½ inches to 5½ inches, and cut it out. Cut household aluminum foil to the same size as the lighter construction paper.
3. Glue the foil behind the lighter color construction paper so the foil shows through the cut-outs. Mount on the cover of the folded construction paper.

Mock Stained-Glass Card

1. Fold a sheet of paper in half. Write a message or draw a picture inside the card.
2. On the cover of the card, pencil in designs to look like stained glass. Trace with a broad point, black felt-tip pen the lines of the design. Fill in the designs with felt-tip pens in other colors.

1. Fold the paper in half.
2. On the front of the folded card, pencil in a design that includes "button people."
3. Place the buttons on the card, using the two holes as eyes, and glue down.
4. Draw eyebrows and a mouth with the pens. Add clothing by gluing on scraps of fabric. Add hair by gluing on yarn.
5. Trace over the penciled lines with the pens.
