Draw and cut the dinosaur
I drew the dinosaur design myself, it was loosely based on Max in the book 'Where the Wild Things Are', which my son was reading at the time. The body and arm of the dinosaur are two separate pieces.
I used patterned green paper to make the dinosaur costume shape, then cut out an oval of pale peach card and glued it behind for the face. I just drew on the eye and the blush of the cheeks I made with colored pencil.
I stuck the dinosaur shape onto the card with foam tape to make it pop out. The word roar was typed and printed onto the peach card, cut out and adhered to the front of the card as well
Birthday party details
Inside was the information for the party like: 'U R Invited to....'; When; Where; RSVP. I printed these titles out in a 'monsterish' font then just hand wrote in the details.
