Here’s an extraordinary way of making a wonderful gift card for a special friend.

Needed

• 2 coloured sheets of paper cut in equal length medium strips
• glue stick

What to do

1. With your ruler, you have to measure your page size using your mathematical skills.
2. Then you take your scissor and equally cut your strips into equal length and breadth.
3. Now take the first strip (red) and place it horizontally and put glue on the edge.
4. now stick the other strip (blue) You will now have a right angle.
5. Paste a blue strip at the back side of the red one, then a blue on the front side of the red until you reach the other end. Now take a blue strip and stick it beside your first red one and under the yellow one... continue with your weaving process until you are finished with the strips.
6. Now take your ruler and check the length and breadth of the card... You’ll be surprised to find it the same size as before it was weaved.
7. Now you take another strip and fold it up and down like a fan, remember your strip shouldn’t be more then 8 cm.
8. When your folding is done, take a white paper circle about the size of a cup and put 2 small circles on it like ears.
9. Next, put on lipstick on your lips and kiss on the big circle. Now you have a face prepared.
10. Take 2 round shape buttons a stick them as eyes and colour the rest of the face yellow.
11. Now stick your face that you made on your folded strip. When you are done with this you call this a jumping jack.
12. Stick your jumping jack in the middle of your weaved craft. Find a coloured paper that is smaller than the card while bigger then the jack. Take the paper and stick it from one side equally while tape it from the other side so that your friend can open it.
13. Add your friends name and a special message.

You can also make this card into a math card game. You can do skip counting along the woven card. Write a math poem on the inside.
