In this article, we will guide you through the process of making magic cards with paper. It's a fun and easy DIY project that will have everyone amazed at your skills. Let's get started!
Materials
Before we begin, let's gather the materials you'll need:
- Colored paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Stapler
Step 1: Cut the Paper
Using your ruler and pencil, draw a rectangle on the colored paper. The rectangle should measure 8cm by 5cm. Cut out the rectangle carefully with your scissors. Repeat this process until you have as many cards as you want to make.
Step 2: Fold the Card
Take one of the rectangles you just cut out and fold it in half lengthwise. Crease the fold with your finger. Unfold the paper and fold it in half widthwise. Crease the fold with your finger. Unfold the paper and you should have a rectangle with four equal sections.
Step 3: Cut the Card
Using your scissors, cut along the lengthwise fold from the top of the paper to the center crease. Then, cut along the widthwise fold from the left side of the paper to the center crease. You should now have a rectangle with a slit in the center that opens up to reveal the four sections of the card.
Step 4: Decorate the Card
Now it's time to get creative! Decorate each section of the card with different designs, colors, or messages. You can use markers, stickers, or even glitter to make your cards stand out.
Step 5: Fold the Card Again
Once you've finished decorating, fold the card back together along the lengthwise and widthwise creases. Make sure the designs are facing outwards and the slit is in the center.
Step 6: Staple the Card
Using your stapler, staple the center of the card where the slit is. This will hold the card together and prevent the sections from falling apart.
Step 7: Perform the Magic Trick!
Now you're ready to impress your friends and family with your magic cards! Hold the card between your fingers with the slit facing you. Push the top and bottom sections of the card towards each other and the middle sections away from each other. The card will appear to change designs or colors in the blink of an eye!
