Create a photo card

Make a cardboard envelope that, when opened, reveals a flower shape with a photo in the centre. Start by drawing a square slightly larger than your photo in the middle of an A4 piece of card. Now draw parallel lines from the edges of the square out to the edges of the card to make a plus sign (+). Cut out the sign, discard the corners of the card and round off the ends by drawing around a cup and cutting out. Cut a piece of Christmas paper to fit in the square and glue in place. When dry, glue thephoto in the centre. When dry, close the flaps and seal with a festive sticker or length of ribbon.
