This last-minute Halloween card project uses cardstock, googly eyes, and white paper to create a fun monster design. Simply fold a paper sheet into a card, add a toothy mouth, and stick on as many googly eyes as you like. Finish with a handwritten note inside for a quick and playful Halloween greeting.

You'll need

cardstock in a color of your choice (we think purple, orange, black, and green are great picks)

googly eyes or googly eye stickers

white paper or white chalk marker

glue, scissors

Directions

If you don't have a ready-made card, create one by cutting a letter- or A4-sized sheet in half. Take one half and fold it in half, then run a ruler (or a similar object) over the crease for a crisp fold.

Cut a mouth shape with two fangs from white paper. Alternatively, draw the mouth using a white chalk marker (which is simpler and looks great) or a black marker if your card is a bright color.

If you opted to glue the mouth, gently press it down so the adhesive sets firmly.

Now it's time to attach the googly eyes (or your chosen alternatives).

Remove the protective layer from the back of each eye to expose the adhesive.

Press the eye onto the card to make it stick securely.

Keep adding more eyes until your monster card looks just right to you.

The final step is to write a personal message inside the card.
