Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Patterns

Preparing the Patterns, Eid card Making

We selected bright and fun colors for the lantern patterns. But make sure to use yellow-colored craft papers for the light patterns.

Trace the lanterns base, the strips, and the inner patterns which represent the glass reflecting light, that’s why we need to use yellow-colored craft papers for those patterns. Use a pair of sharp scissors to cut out the traced patterns nicely.

Step 2: Attaching the Lantern Patterns

Attaching the Lantern Patterns

Grab a lantern base cutout and the strips. Attach the strips on the lantern base. The strip may exceed the lantern base but don’t worry, you can always trim extra parts. Use scissors or x-acto knife to trim the extra sides of the attached strips.

Step 3: Crafting the Lanterns

Crafting the Lanterns

Attach the yellow pattern cutouts on the lantern base. Place them in the middle of the lantern base and keep them aligned nicely. The number of lanterns for each card would depend on the size of the card so craft according to that. We are using 3 paper lanterns for each card.

Step 4: Preparing the Card

Crafting the Lanterns

We used white-colored cardstock paper to make the card. Simply cut out a cardstock of the required height and 2 times the width and then fold the width side into half to prepare the card. Attach the paper lanterns on the front side of the prepared card.

Step 5: Drawing the Strings

Crafting the Lanterns

Use a gel pen to draw the string of the lanterns. We kept the lanterns along the top end and drew the strings from the top as well.

Step 6: Add More Details if You Like

Tips for Making Eid Greeting Cards

Although making cards is relatively very easy among all sorts of crafts, but here are few things you should keep in mind when making cards.

  • Use cardstock paper or thick paper to make cards. Using craft paper isn’t ideal for card making.
  • Select lighter colored cardstock paper if you’re using a black inked pen to write text.
  • If you prefer using dark-colored paper you can use a silver or golden gel pen to write texts.
  • To prepare the card it’s better to use a ruler, cutting mat, and x-acto knife. The card will turn out perfectly with the help of these tools.

We are excited to hand out our beautiful Eid greeting cards to our family and friends. We hope that you can spare a little time to craft some too. Happy crafting and have a wonderful Eid.
