How to make craft

Take the dark blue cardboard and fold it on half. This is going to be the base of the card.
Now, to create the earth use some round item and draw it over the light blue cardboard. Cut the shape using scissors.
Cut two circles from white sticky tape for the eyes and glue them in the circle. To
finish the look of the eyes fill them with the black marker in the middle. Draw a mouth below the eyes.
Attach the circle on the card.
To create the hat I’ve used the yellow sheet. Fold it on half creating rectangle. Then fold the edges on the top toward the inside meeting together in the middle and fold the left paper up so you will get a hat shape.
Attach it on the head of the earth. Glue the pom pom on the top of the hat.
To finish the look of the card just glue some stickers of the animals around. Also fill the empty space around the card with stars in different colors.
