4. Seal the design using Mod Podge or a spray varnish to protect the art from wear.

#33. Fry-Love Father’s Day Card

Modeled after a box of fries, each “fry” carries a loving message straight from the heart.

Materials Needed

• Red cardstock
• Yellow cardstock
• Glue stick
• Black marker

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Fold black cardstock in half to create a card base (approx. 5.5″x8.5″).
2. Cut a red paper arc to form the fry sleeve (about 5″ wide and 4.5″ tall at center), and glue only the sides and bottom onto the card so it forms a pocket.
3. Cut 6–8 strips of yellow paper, each about 0.75″x5″, to look like fries.
4. On each fry, write a sweet or funny message like “You are so caring,” “You’re awesome,” “You’re strong,” or “You make the best pancakes!”
5. Cut out an “M” from yellow paper and glue it to the front of the fry box for that classic fast-food look.
