Paper Crafts: Piano Card

Whether you have a piano recital or party coming up, this piano card would be a perfect addition. Create by using piano paper, cardstock and ribbon. You could give it to your son or daughter for a job well done or give it to their piano teacher. This card is fun to make and everyone will be impressed. This was one of my favorite projects I’ve done for Bowdabra thus far. Now, I just need someone in the family to take piano lessons and it might be me again.

Materials:

• Mini Bowdabra
• Bowdabra Bow Wire
• Hair Bow Tool & Ruler
• Glue gun/Double Stick tape
• Paper cutter/scissors
• 5/8″ Satin Ribbon
• Piano sheet paper
• Black & white cardstock
• Ruler
• Pen or pencil

Instructions:

1. Gather all of your materials to begin making your piano card. Fold one piece of white cardstock in half and cut with your paper cutter or scissors. Fold one of the pieces in half to make a card.

3. Cut a piano shape out of black cardstock. You may need to practice a few times to get the perfect shape. Use double stick tape to attach on top of the piano paper. Cut a piece of ribbon to fit underneath the black shape. Do not tape it down yet.
