STARTER GUIDE · AWAITING MAKER TESTING

Let’s make something lovely.

  1. 01

    Fold each four-inch square in half to make a four-inch-wide, two-inch-high tent card. Crease and check that it stands.

  2. 02

    Cut one small star per card. Keep the shape broad and simple enough to attach securely.

  3. 03

    Write a guest’s name on the front before adding decoration. Test the pen on a scrap and let the ink dry.

  4. 04

    Glue the star to a top corner, keeping the fold clear so the card still opens. Allow the adhesive to set.

  5. 05

    Inside, write an optional prompt such as “One little thing I hope to try.” Leave room for an answer.

  6. 06

    Set the cards at the table and let guests know they can keep their note private, share it, or leave it blank.

A little helpful detail

Keep the decoration light so the card does not lean forward.

Make it personal

Use a different star color for each table, then invite guests to take their card home.

A little help from AI

Ask AI for six gentle fresh-start prompts without productivity pressure; select one rather than generating personal wishes on someone else’s behalf.
