Welcome to Aunt Annie's Crafts!

Take a look around. You'll find crafting fun for children, teens and adults. A craft how-to is featured each Monday, with a special craft treat added each Wednesday, and at the end of the week it's Friday Fun with simple crafts for families, groups or classrooms.

Featured this week: Super easy petal envelopes!

Featured last week: More pop-up card fun!

  • Step Pop-Up Cards - Make a pop-up greeting card for a variety of occasions. See how easy it is to make a step pop-up mechanism, also sometimes called a platform or double-slit pop-up. Once you learn this technique, it's a simple matter to create pop-up cards of your own design.

  • Wednesday Treat: Pop-up card template! More pop-up options!

    Sample of pop-up with three step platformsStep Pop-Up Card TemplateLast week's Wednesday treat was a set of templates for making a variety of Step Pop-Up Cards! Just choose the pop-up step size(s) for your card, then cut out. Align the template(s) on the card blank's  folded edge and trace. No measuring needed!

    The pattern includes templates for making a 3-step pop-up like the sample pop-up card.

  • Last Week's Friday Fun: How to cut five-pointed stars and string a garland!

    Patriotic Star Garland - Cut five-pointed stars (it's really easy!) from red, white and blue paper and string them to make a garland! Use the garland to decorate for Memorial Day, Flag Day or the Fourth of July. This is a great craft for kids and families.
