How to make the Blue Peter 2024 Christmas Card with Hacker 馃摦

馃毃 Be careful when using sharp objects, get a grown-up to help you 馃毃

1. Creating the post box

  • First, draw a post box design on your red card. Make sure you draw a small rectangle near the top of the post box for the letters to go in to.

  • Cut out your post box design and carefully cut out the letter slot.

  • You can also add some extra details like a post box sign and some shading to really bring it to life!

2. Making the card

  • Fold your blue card in half horizontally.

  • Take your post box and place it on top of the blue card in the middle, and with a pencil trace around the letter slot so you have an outline on the card.听

  • Remove the post box and carefully cut out the letter slot from the blue card. (Get a grown-up to help you as this part can be a bit tricky)

  • Before you stick your post box onto your blue card, we need some snow! Take the white card and cut a wavy line across it, and stick it down onto听the blue card.

  • Glue the post box on top, making sure you line the letter holes up.

  • Add any extra details onto the front of your card, Hacker and Shini have added some snow and snowflakes.

3. Adding Santa's Sleigh

  • Now you need to create Santa's sleigh to collect the letters on the inside of the card where the slot for the post box is.听

  • Taking your plastic wallet or freezer bag and cut a square big enough to cover most of the inside of the card.

  • Once you have your square, tape it to the inside of the card leaving the top of it open, making sure to cover the letterbox slot.

  • If you want to add a sleigh, draw a sleigh onto your white and red card and glue it down over the bottom of the plastic bag.

4. Letters

  • To make the letters, cut out rectangles small enough to fit through the slot of the post box. You can write little wishes or messages on your tiny envelopes.

  • Glue some pegs on the front of the card and then clip on your letters to the pegs.

  • Once this is done you can then take your letters and post them!

5. Finish your card off with a message 鉁

  • Once you've made your card don't forget to add a message for your loved ones.
