Donut Card

On VanGami the template appears over your sheet through your phone camera — no printer needed. Trace it, cut, fold and glue. Below are all the steps in text.

What you’ll need

• Letter sheet — office paper, 80 gsm (20 lb)
• Markers
• Pencil — and eraser
• Scissors — small
• Glue stick — or PVA glue
• Glass — phone stand

Steps

Trace

1. Donut: outline. Trace the big circle with a tab on the left and the hole in the middle — both lines are solid, and you’ll cut along them.
2. Donut: fold. A short dashed line sets off the tab: it will fold back along it.
3. Donut: icing. Trace the wavy icing — on the outside and around the hole — then sketch in the little sprinkle dashes.
4. Base: outline. A second circle of the same size — the base of the card.
5. Base: drawing. In the middle, a heart; on the left, a spot for the tab and a narrow strip along the edge; around them, a few sprinkle dashes.

Color

6. Donut: coloring. Color the icing pink, and the edge of the donut and the strip by the hole light brown. Then draw sprinkle dashes right on the icing: blue, green, yellow. Leave the tab white.
7. Base: coloring. Color the heart red and leave the highlight white. Add sprinkles in the same three colors, and color the narrow strip along the left edge light brown.

Cut

8. Cut out: donut. Cut out the donut along the outer line, together with the flap. For the hole: put the donut on an eraser and poke a pencil through the middle, then put the scissors into the hole and cut around the circle.
9. Cut out: base. Cut with scissors along the solid line. Turn the sheet, not the scissors — the cut will come out neater.

Fold

10. Fold the flap. Fold the flap back along the dashed line, under the donut, and crease the fold with your fingernail.

Glue

11. Glue to the base. Lay the base heart side up and apply glue to the spot for the flap — the strip on the left. Cover the base with the donut, edge to edge: the flap goes onto the glue, and the heart sits right under the hole.

Write

12. Write a message. Open the donut like a book. On its back — on the left — write a message in pencil or pen.

Check

13. Close the card. Close the card: a heart peeks out through the donut hole. It’s ready to give.

Done. The card is done. Close it — a heart peeks out through the donut hole.
