  • Crayons or Paint
  • Scissors
  • Ruler/ Yardstick

Directions
  • First, place the card paper on a flat surface and carefully cut the top of the paper into a 'M' shape so that it looks like two pointed peaks.

  • Glue the buttons on the right side of this line.

  • Paste these flaps to the card and glue a button on each collar.
  • Now, cut a rectangular piece of paper and glue it to the shirt, to look like a pocket. The pocket should be of the same color as the shirt.
