Anyone crafty - dd has to make a Trivial Pursuit style question box

Dd has to create some question cards on the major religions and present them in a box, bit like Trivial Pursuit question cards.

She's fine researching ideas on the content but isn't creative at all (nor am I!) so does anyone have any ideas how she can make her work look good?

Use a sweetie box or something the right sort of shape (margarine tub?) and just cover it with nice paper.

For the cards, to keep it simple how about choosing sheets of a plain colour of card, cutting it up into the preferred size, and putting a sticker as decoration on the back of each? Depending on how old DD is, I would probably go for printing the questions onto address labels, and sticking them onto the front of the cards.

Margarine tub is a good idea. I thought of a shoe box but that's too big.

jam she's nearly 12, year 7. The cards have to be double sided with question on one side and answer on the back.

Address labels good idea although I am rubbish with this sort of thing so don't think it's going to be easy!

Argh - what is it with RE teachers and 'creative' homework projects?? So far this term dd (also y7) has had to make a 3D model of a church and is now designing an advent calendar ... (Dd typically going overboard and spending way too long on it). So sorry OP, no advice but I share your pain ...

An after eights box - then she can put the cards inside the a/e papers.

She could buy some blank business cards and print them off on, the cards would look nice and she can print both sides, or just one and stick them together.

Instead of cards do them rolled up like scrolls and then just put them in a jam jar or plant plot - say they are based on the dead sea scrolls.

She could also do it with lollypop sticks again in a jar - will look good.
