Make an invitation for a "barnyard birthday" or other occasion by cutting a barn shape out of a red piece of card stock with a pair of scissors. You can use a template for the barn or cut it out freehand. Embellish the front with craft supplies such as ribbon and glue. Write the party details on the opposite side of the barn using a fine-tipped black paint pen.
