Cutting Hearts for Valentine's Day Crafts

Video Transcript

" Hi. I'm Amy Warkentien with Expert Village and I'm here to explain the first step of our craft which is making the frame. So we need our black construction paper, our scissors and our pencil for this part of the craft. So we'll just get the rest of this stuff out of the way. Now, we're going to make three hearts. I'm going to fold this paper in half, not the long way but the short way; to make it a little easier for me to cut out my three hearts. And I'm going to make three different sized hearts; a large, a medium and a small heart. So to make, to cut the steps in half I'm just going to make them all inside of each other. So I'm going to use my pencil to draw out my hearts so that I'm sure that I don't make any mistakes. So, I drew the outside of a heart and now about an inch in I'm going to draw another line and this is going to be the frame that the tissue paper is going to go inside. So, when I cut this out I'm going to cut along here and here and so this next part is going to be my medium sized frame. I'm making another heart inside, about an inch in again. And then our small heart we'll make another line another inch in. And if this isn't perfect it doesn't make a difference. So now, go ahead and take your scissors and cut along the lines. If you're free handing this you just you know, start right from the beginning just cutting out. So now I'm going to follow the next line for my big heart. And you can use separate pieces of construction paper if you want to or you could use smaller hearts. Obviously this one?s going to be kind of large. So, here's my medium heart and my small heart. Okay, so we're done with that step. Here's the large heart and here's the medium heart and here's the small heart. And our frames are done."
