Step-by-step guide to share energy saving tips for festivals
Step 1

Help!?
What can we use if we don't have a ruler, stickers, or an envelope?
Use a straight edge like a hardcover book or a cereal box flap to guide cuts, replace stickers with drawn borders or coloured paper scraps for decoration, and fold and tape a sheet of paper or reuse a small box instead of an envelope.
My cards keep coming out uneven or the decorations peel off—how can I fix that?
Mark cutting lines lightly with a pencil and use the ruler or straight edge before cutting, press stickers firmly or use a glue stick for decorations, and trim stray edges with the scissors so the cards fit neatly in the envelope or box.
How can I adapt this activity for younger children or older kids?
For younger children have an adult pre-cut fewer, larger cards and let them draw simple icons and pick colours, while older kids can find 8–12 tips, write concise titles and festival-specific examples, decorate more elaborately, and upload the finished set to DIY.org.
How can we make the tip cards more engaging or useful beyond the basic steps?
Lamination with clear tape or covering each card protects them, adding a QR code or short link on a card points to more information, and personalizing with festival-themed drawings or stickers before placing them in the envelope/box makes them more appealing to hand out.
