For example, I love:

Supplies needed to make this Ramadan Garland:
- A cardboard box (or some flaps from one)
- Some string
- Ramadan or Eid Cookie Cutter Shapes – here the mosque shape and star shape were used… but you can be inspried to create your own
- Pencile and craft knife (to add the RAMADAN letters)
- A white marker pen (posca pens are great)
- Some string and tape
How to make your cardboard Ramadan Garland
Trace your mosque cookie cutter and cut out enough shapes write the word Ramadan (you will need 7 mosques). Also cut out a number of little star shapes. The easiest way to do this is to use a stanly knife!
With a pencil lightly add the letters for R A M A D A N to your mosque.
Using a stanly knife, cut the top layer of your cardboard and peel back, to reveal the cardboard structure below.
We love the white contrast that the white Posca Pens allows you to add. Though of course you can use any colour pen!
Be creative with your white decorative features! Leave some of your mosques “plain” and add dots, stars or dashes to your other shapes.
Outline your little stars too!
Thread the string through the cardboard and done!
Hang on your door!
And done! I hope you like this lovely project from Craftastic Kids! Do pop over and follow this fantastic instagram account too!
