4. Making Cards
Eli made Valentine’s Day cards for his
friends. He enjoys doing crafts, so he
thought it would be fun to make his own
cards. The first thing he did was choose
10 pcs of red paper. He folded each piece
of paper in half to make the cards.
5. Then he cut out some hearts from white paper
and glued the hearts on each card. Eli’s friend
likes glitter, so he put some pink and silver glitter
on the cards. The last thing he did was write a
note to his friends on the inside of the cards.
When he was done, he wrote the names of his
friends on the envelops. Eli thinks his handmade
cards look great!
