Valentine's Day Cards

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Difficulty:  *

Time Commitment: **

Mess Potential:  **

 

So I broke my own rule on this project, and took a trip to Michael's for some Valentine's Day card supplies.  But, I kept it limited to a few things that were inexpensive - and quite honestly **necessary** for our successful creation of some old fashioned Valentine's Day cards. 

Materials:

Doilies

Glitter Letters (or markers)

Glue Stick or School Glue

Ribbon

Construction or Craft Paper

Foam Hearts (if available)

We started our craft with a silver doilie and glued a foam heart on top of it.  We then used a heart shaped cookie cutter as a stencil to cut out heart shapes from patterned paper.  That was glued on top of the foam heart and we then decorated the hearts with glitter letters, glue and glitter.  Finally, we used our Valentine's ribbon to tie a bow to the top of the Valentine.  Several of the cards we created follow. 

We created the card above by ripping construction paper in pieces and then gluing the pieces onto the foam heart.  My daughter then colored her design onto a heart shape and we glued it to the top.
