How to Make a 3D Birthday Cake Card
What you need:
- printable template (optional)
- pencil
- scissors
- glue
- color paper (blue, red, pink, two shades of yellow, and two shades of purple)
- white marker
Step by Step Tutorial
Prepare a blue color paper.
If you want your kids to make a card, have them lay the piece horizontally and fold it vertically in half.
The Cake
Have them cut out a red rectangle and fold its ends.
They must bend the rectangle and glue it to the blue paper.
We want a 3D look.
The Topping
Have them draw some wavy lines on pink paper.
Now, they can cut it out and glue it over the bent part of the cake.
They can cut out some circles from the colored paper used for the topping and glue them to the red part of the cake.
To create the other two cake layers, kids need to repeat the steps with yellow and purple color paper.
The yellow rectangle should be narrower than the red one, and the purple one should be narrower than the yellow one.
Optional: They can cut all the cake parts (rectangles) in the same size, then adjust their folds when gluing them on to make them look smaller than the bottom cake part.
The Candle
Have them cut out a smaller pink rectangle.
The Flame
Have them cut out two drop shapes – a bigger red one and a tinier yellow one.
Then, glue the pieces one on the other and attach the part to the candle.
They can glue the candle to the inside of the purple cake and then draw some dots with a white marker.
The cake card will look even prettier with some colorful dots. They can use reds, yellows, and purples and glue them around the cake to the blue background.
