Cute! Handmade Birthday Card Ideas [Birthday]

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

When celebrating a friend’s or family member’s birthday, it’s perfectly fine to give something store-bought, of course.

But many of you might be thinking, “I want to give a slightly more elaborate handmade item.” It can feel more heartfelt and make everyone even happier.

So in this article, we’re sharing lots of ideas for handmade birthday cards! You can finish them using familiar materials, or easily create surprising interactive elements—there’s quite a wide lineup.

Be sure to use these as inspiration and make it a fun birthday!

Cute! Handmade Birthday Card Ideas [Birthday] (11–20)

A card that reveals a photo and a message when you pull it

How about making a card where the heart pieces flip and flutter when you pull the base? You can stick photos or write messages on the hearts, so it’s perfect for anyone thinking of a memorable Valentine’s gift.

Place a 7 cm × 12 cm sheet of construction paper on top of a 7 cm × 17 cm sheet and tape them together, then draw five horizontal lines 1 cm apart from the bottom on the 7 cm × 12 cm sheet.

Fold the papers in half so that the sheet with the lines is on the outside, then attach the heart pieces along the lines.

Finally, wrap a strip-shaped piece around the overlapped section of the papers, and attach a ribbon to the topmost heart to finish.
