Need a Skeleton for a Greeting Card??

20 years ago

See link below to the Ben & Jerry Ice Cream site. It has a cute skeleton that you can print, cut out, and assemble. I'm going to put mine inside a greeting card, but I can also visualize it being used on a mobile along with bats, a witch, moon, etc.

If you're going to make a mobile, you could copy the whole picture of the bones, duplicate it and flip it, and then you could make a double-sided skeleton. Not necessary, but possible.

I put my skeleton together with waxed dental floss (very easy to thread a needle with that stuff - LOL!). I left the thread loops just a bit loose so the bones could jiggle.

There are also a 'Glynda the Witch' and a Victorian house to copy, cut out and assemble at the same site.

Have fuoooooonnnnn!

Assembled, mine is about 8-1/2" from top of skull down to boney toes. Of course he 'folds' up well with all those loose joints, so will fit inside a regular greeting card.

Got any good ideas on the verse part to go with a skeleton? This is for my 90 year old Mother who has Alzheimer's Disease, so I know the verse doesn't really matter, but I still like it to be sensible to others who may see the card. And I may make another one for my grandsons (preschool age up to first grade).

Thnaks, everyone! I think Mom will enjoy it.

I finished the card and mailed it. But I also posted pictures and hints on how to decorate it on the Paper Crafts Forum (see link below).

I used this on the front of the card... "Shake, Rattle and Roll this Hallowe'en" and just put a big "BOO" inside. Nothing too scary for little ones or the elderly!
