The Original DIY
Earth Day Card
It’s a card you print on a piece of paper, cut out and put together with some string and staples, decorate, and then give to someone on Earth Day to celebrate this amazing world that we all share together.
It will take the maker and the recipient on a journey around the world filled with Earthly knowledge and reveal a hidden message when the Sun is aligned due East for sunrise.
Also available as an E-card!
