How to make theteapot cards:

Materials (per person):

•

Thick colored card/paper

•

White and black oil crayon

•Glue stick

•

Scissors

•Lead pencil

•

Various brightly colored pieces of tissue paper – enough to

make 8 circles (2cm diameter).

•

Tag and string from a teabag.

•Scalpel or sharp knife

•

Sticky tape

•Circle and teapot templates (attached to this document)

1. Photocopy teapot template onto thick, colored card/paper.

2. Use a white oil crayon to color in teapot.

3. Using the circle template, trace 8 circles (total) onto different

colored pieces of tissue paper, cut out and glue onto teapot.

4. Trace around teapot lines with black oil crayon.

5. Cut a slit in the teapot where the black oil is drawn for the lid,

thread the string through to the other side and use a small

piece of tape to stick it down on the reverse side. Make sure

the string doesn’t hang too low from the teapot.

6. Fold card in half and write a lovely message inside, such as:

Dear Mum,

Happy Mothers Day!

I love you because…

Thanks for …

With love from …

7. Sign your name and write the short date on the back of the

card.

Notes:

* Pastel/light color tissue paper will not have the same effect as

bright or dark colors.

* Gluing on the tissue paper leaves sticky fingers – be careful to

not get sticky, dirty finger prints on the card.

* Don’t be cheap and buy No Frills tea bags or you’ll have a tacky

tag for your teapot.

Cut up page into groups of 4 circles and hand to students. Students place

circles underneath tissue paper, trace the circle and cut it out to put on the

teapot. 8 circles is a good amount for decorating the teapot.
