There are always occasions where a money gift is requested. If you don't want to 'just' hand over an envelope, you can try this version. With a little skill, this gift becomes something very special:
Money gift: Folded money as fish
What is needed
- Picture frame
- beautiful paper
: Construction paper in 2 different shades of blue, beige and green
- Printout of a treasure chest on paper
- Small change, banknotes
- Tixo
- Scissors
- Glue
- Googly eyes
- glitter pens
- Glitter
Instructions
First, cut the light blue construction paper to the size of the picture frame. Cut the dark blue construction paper a little bit shorter and cut waves along one long side. Cut out individual plants from the green construction paper and a narrow section from the beige one, which is provided with waves on one long side. Glue the dark blue paper onto the light blue construction paper. Then glue the beige one at the very bottom as sand. Now just glue the green climbing plants onto the dark blue one, starting from the beige one.
Now from the banknotes small fish, large fish, boats, crab or a starfish fold. To attach the banknotes, I simply formed a small roll out of normal adhesive tape (place the tape with the non-sticky side on a finger and then form it into a roll and stick the ends together) and with this, the fish and/or boats as well as the coins can be wonderfully stuck on (and then removed again!). I also stuck the googly eyes on with small tape rolls. Then stick on the picture with the treasure chest and distribute the cent coins on it with tape rolls.
I made the air bubbles with my daughter's glitter pen and applied the glitter to the sand using glue. Let everything dry well and then put it in the picture frame.
