Brown Paper Bag Card

Supplies needed:

Brown paper (from a grocery bag) or Construction Paper
Pinking shears or Scissors
Paper Punch
Ribbon (about 1/4 inch wide) or thick yarn
Crayons or Markers

Cut a card from brown paper using pinking shears. Any shape will do.
Using a hole punch, make a series of holes around the edges of the card. Make an even number of holes.
String ribbon or yarn through the holes.
Tie the ends in a bow (this is the hardest part of this project). If the bow doesn't look good, you can glue the ends of the ribbon to the back of the card instead.

Write a message (or draw a picture) on your lovely card.
