How to Make a Tuxedo Card for Father’s Day
What you need:
- card base (store bought or made from white construction paper or heavier printer paper)
- black paper (plain or construction paper)
- red printing paper
- 2-3 small buttons
- drag
- glue
Pen to write your message on the card.
Follow the step by step instructions to make this DIY Tuxedo Card
Fold a sheet of black paper in half. Make sure the fold is sharp.
Place the white card base on top of the black paper, next to the fold – use it as a template to cut out the black paper.
Open the black cardboard and apply glue to one side of the cardboard.
Insert the white card base (the folded part should be next to the folded part of the black card) and press down to set the glue.
Cut a straight line on the black paper (one side is not glued) – in the middle of the page and about a quarter or a third of the way down the card.
Fold to one side (both sides) to form a V shape for your shirt neckline.
No need to glue the collar, just make sure the folds are straight.
Open the black cardboard and apply glue.
Press down so that the black part of the card adheres to the white card base.
It’s time to decorate your Father’s Day cards!
Glue 2 to 3 buttons. For very small buttons, regular glue may be enough although glue dots seem to be the best option (or a glue gun).
If you want a super simple card, cut a bow shape out of paper. For a more luxurious look, make it pop in 3D like we did by following a few simple steps.
Cut a thin strip of red paper (the length should be equal to the width of the folded card). Apply glue to one end and roll the paper up.
Gently press the roll of paper flat and cut out a bow shape.
Cut a thinner (and shorter) strip of red paper, apply glue to it (along the entire length) and wrap it around the middle of the bow.
Isn’t that classy?
Add a little glue to the back of the bow and press it firmly down onto the card.
Write a note and send a Father’s Day card to the right person.
