For the "spring" fold the green strip of paper diagonally in the center.

Start folding the ends over each other, going back and forth until you get to the end.

Tape the end down so that it looks like a little "spring." This will make the Eid Mubarak saying pop out when the person opens the card.

Tape the saying to the spring and then to the middle of the card.

Cut out the edges of the red cardstock into triangles and cut out triangles shapes at the top and bottom of the card.

Decorate your card with crayons, strips of paper, markers or any thing else to make it a little more ornamental and look like a candy wrapper.
