St. Patrick’s Day Monster Cards
Aren’t they so cute? These monster cards would be great to mail off to grandparents, hand them out at school, give to neighbors or even to give to their teachers. They are pretty simple to make which makes them the perfect St. Patrick’s Day craft! I’ve included a printable pattern for these monster cards so it makes this craft even more do-able.
Kids will have fun putting on those wonky monster eyes and choosing whichever type of patterned card stock they like! Or, if your child loves to color, they can certainly create the patterned background on the little monster cards. There is tons of room for creativity here. Let’s get started!
Supplies for St. Patrick’s Day Monster Cards
- Card stock in shades of green
- Scrapbook paper or card stock in green patterns<
- Green yarn
- Googly eyes
- 2 small silver pom poms
- Black marker
- White craft glue
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Pattern- find the pattern here!
Fold card stock into cards. Use solid colored card stock for patterned monsters.
For the yarn monster, draw lines with white craft glue directly onto the front of the card.
Cut yarn into pieces and place onto glue lines.
Use the pattern provided to cut out monster shapes from patterned scrapbook paper.
Use a glue stick to attach them to the front of the cards.
Add features and embellishments using googly eyes, markers, pom poms, and scrap paper.
For the ghost shaped monster I drew two antennae with a marker and glued silver pom poms to the ends. I drew lines on white scrap paper to create the teeth, cut them out and added them with the glue stick. I finished him off with a large yellow googly eye.
For the shamrock monster, I cut teeth and sharp claws from white scrap paper and added them with a glue stick. I traced around everything with a fine point black marker (optional) and drew on eyebrows and mouth.
I finished him off with monster googly eyes. For the yarn monster, I drew a big bushy eyebrow hovering above his body and added a jumbo-sized googly eye.
