How To Make a Glue Bottle Card
Step 1: Create the Card Base
- Use our free template to cut out your glue card pieces.
Fold a sheet of white cardstock in half, then trace the base shape onto it, this way, your glue bottle will open like a card.
Step 2: Make the Glue Cap
- Glue your light blue panel to the middle of your white card piece.
- Draw lines on both your twist cap and your glue spout with orange crayons or markers. Glue both pieces to the top inside edge of the card.
Step 3: Add the Face
- Stick on two googly eyes and glue on pink paper circles for cheeks. Use a black marker to add a smile and optional eyelashes or little lines for expression.
🍎 Classroom Tips:
- Skip the card format: Instead of making it open like a card, simply use the template as a flat craft. Students can add their name and glue it onto a “Let’s Stick Together” bulletin board.
- Make it into a name tag or desk buddy: Attach each glue bottle to the corner of a desk or cubby for a fun first-week display.
- Use for getting-to-know-you activities: Let students draw or write a few fun facts about themselves inside the glue bottle card.
