Thank you note for neighbor’s door
Creative Activity – Express Thanks
Your child will love to help make a hanging thank you note for someone’s front door.
1. Copy Thank you paper
Step 1: Click on this link to download the pdf file Thankyoupaper.
2. Print and cut in half
Step 2: Print out using tea-dyed (see April post) or regular printer paper, cut paper in half, and gently fold each piece in half to establish a mid line crease.
2. Fold in half
3. Make the bottom point
Step 3: Unfold paper and position face down. Fold bottom right and left corners up along mid line crease so that the two corners meet at the crease and a point forms at the bottom. Hold bottom point with the thumb of your left hand to keep the point intact. Pull paper open to create a funnel-like shape as in the picture.
4.Wrap sides to form cone
Step 4: Continue to hold the bottom point and wrap the paper into a cone.
5. Line up top points
Step 5: Line up the two points at the top (as closely as possible) and add a bit of glue to hold the cone together.
5. Glue and secure
Apply glue to the flap that wraps around the front of the cone. With hand inside, roll the cone, using fingers to press the end point to the paper. Use clothespins to hold paper in the cone shape until dry.
6. Attach ribbon
Step 6: Punch two holes about 1/2 inch apart at the top of the cone. Thread the two ends of a 12 inch ribbon into the holes, loop over a doorknob, and tie ribbon to secure. Fill cone with small treats and attach a card. The thank you labels download from Bonus goodies – labels are perfect!
Add trim, buttons, or tassels!
