Candle made with masking tape

[Easy] Handmade Birthday Card with Hand-Drawn Art × Masking Tape | Masking Tape | Birthday Card | #shorts #short #birthdaycard

Here’s a simple but super cute birthday card with candles.

Prepare a white card and cut five pieces of your favorite washi tape to stick on.

Try mixing wide and narrow tapes, and vary the lengths and angles.

Draw the candle flames with color pens.

I used pink and yellow here, but it would be fun to customize with any colors or colored pencils you like.

Write “Happy Birthday” or a message in the empty space.

Using the video as a reference, try thickening the vertical lines, changing the lettering style, and adding your own personal touches!

A wreath decoration instantly brightens up a room.

Its large, round shape really catches the eye.

You can freely create any design you like—using origami, yarn, faux flowers, and more—so it makes a great handmade gift.

Wreaths also work anywhere: not only on a wall, but on doors or in entryways, adding a special touch to the space.

Because they’re easy to display somewhere visible, the recipient can always feel your presence nearby.

It’s also a thoughtful gift for older loved ones who live apart, conveying the message, “I’m always watching over you.”
