Materials, Schmaterials!
First things first, gather your supplies. You'll need:
-
Cardstock paper (as sturdy as your grandma's old oak dining table)
-
Scissors (because using your teeth is just not as efficient)
-
Glue (preferably not the kind you find on the back of your sofa)

A printer (unless you're going for that hand-drawn look)

Measure Twice, Cut Once
It's time to break out those scissors and trim your cardstock paper into the right size for your header card. They can be made to whatever size you choose. Just remember, if it is too big, it might look like a giant crown, and if it is too small, it might disappear like your socks in the laundry.
Funny But True: Have you ever noticed how tricky it is to cut a straight line? Well, header cards don't mind if they're a little wonky.
Glue, Stick, and Laugh
Now, let's assemble your header card. Fold the cardstock in half so it's like a friendly book, and apply some glue. Here's where you can get hilarious; if you accidentally glue your fingers together, don't panic! Stick your header card to your product. Make sure it's hanging there all proud and confident, like a kid who just aced a spelling bee. This is the perfect time to create a small hole—no, not for hide-and-seek.
Get Printing (or Drawing, If You're Feeling Artsy)
Time to add the magic touch - your design! You can print it out or get artsy and draw it by hand. Experiment as much as you like. Why did the header card go to art school? Because it wanted to be a masterpiece!
Wrap It Up with a Bow
And there you have it, your very own header card! It's similar to the cherry on top, the frosting on the cake, or the final detail that gives your product a movie star appearance. You've mastered the art of coming up with clever header cards that are also lighthearted. Now, go out there and make your product pop like a firework on the Fourth of July!
