Let’s make a pretty card together!
First, put a little bit of glue on the edge of the paper (like in picture A). Stick it to the back of the big lacy doily, but let the lace show around the edges. Then, add more glue to the rest of the doily edge and fold it over the paper (like in picture B). Now, fold the whole thing in half to make your card shape. Next, you can decorate it! Add a shiny gold heart and some pretty flowers (like in picture C).
Have fun with your creativity !
