    Fold a square piece of paper or card into a triangle by folding the bottom right corner up to the top edge.

  • Step 2 of dog card

    Step 2

    Turn the triangle so that the point is facing you, fold the right corner over to make a small triangle and do the same with the left corner so that they look like two ears.

    Step 3

    Stick goggly eyes, a black paper nose and a pink paper tongue onto the dog's face. Add black dots for a spotty dog and, if you'd like, make a collar with a strip of coloured paper, a short piece of ribbon and some sequins. Stick the dog onto some folded card to complete your greeting card.
