My boy is all about those trucks, bout those trucks. He's trouble. (hehe)
He didn't want to do a box of valentine's from the dollar store. Instead he wanted to give everyone a toy. There are 16 kids in his class. We found monster trucks in packs of 4. I designed his cards and I love the way they turned out.

Bought 4 packs of these trucks. $4 total for 16 trucks. |

Here is my print out. I started with a rectangle shape on the paper so I knew where to cut. I found a simple clipart image of a road. |
|
I opened an empty box of cereal. I used a large glue stick and traced the rectangle on the reverse side of the paper and added plenty of glue within the rectangle as well. I wanted to be sure the edges would lay flat when it was cut out. Turning the paper over I pressed it to the picture side of the cereal box. |
|
I smoothed the paper out making sure any bubbles or wrinkles were eliminated from the card. Using my heavy duty scissors I cut it out on the rectangle lines. |
|
Using a thick needle and waxy thread I sewed through the road. |
|
I threaded it through the underside of the truck and back through the road before knotting it tightly. |

With the truck attached my boy just needs to sign his name in the white space at the bottom. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
