How to Make Valentine's Day Cards - For Kids

A simple way to kids of all ages to make adorable, lasting Valentine's Day cards.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Red Felt
• Scissors
• Glue
• Red, white, and/or pink yarn/ribbon
• Craft Decorations
• Metallic Paint Craft Pen
• Strong Sewing Needle

1. Cut out two large, matching hearts from the felt.

2. Glue top parts of hearts together, just at the very top. Let dry.

3. Use yarn/ribbon and a thick needle to thread thru the heart, right below the gluing. Tie front and back ends or yarn/ribbon at top in a pretty bow. Do one thread of yarn/ribbon on each side of the heart.

4. Use glue, sparkling craft decorations, or whatever, to decorate the outside of the heart-shaped card. Use craft pens to write a message on the inside of the card.

Tips & Warnings

• For a neat twist, try gluing most of the front and back heart together, then filling it with craft stuffing. Glue the heart closed and use a craft pen to write a message on the fluffy card.
• Be careful not to let the child glue the two heart pieces completely together if their making a traditional card. Their creation won't open if they do.
