Dad Card #2

Supplies Used: Adhesive, Cardstock or construction paper, Crayons, markers or pens, Scissors

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. Fold a long piece of paper in half (5" x 12" or desired size). Open the fold, and bring each of the two ends (Figure A) to the middle to make a gate fold card (Figure B).
2. Attach a piece of paper to the inside of the card to cover the middle fold.
3. Students can write a message, add decorative shapes or draw an original design on the inside of the card (Main Photo).
4. Die-cut two of the Word, Dad shapes using cardstock or construction paper, for each student. 
5. While the two die-cuts are stacked together, fold them in half (Figure C).
6. Students can take the pieces that fell out of the letters D to use as a guide. Cut a slightly larger piece of paper from a different color, and adhere the paper behind the openings of both of the letters D if desired (Figure D).
7. Place adhesive on the inside back of one folded Dad, and slide it on to the left edge opening.
8. Place adhesive on the other half of the second Dad, and slide it on the other edge opening to align with the first Dad (Main Photo).
9. When the card is folded flat, the Dad ‟handles” will come together to create one complete image.
