How to Make a Handmade Valentines Card

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Elouise on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip I'm going to show you how to make a Valentine pocket card. Fold your paper again vertically and then in half. By this time I am sure that you've come up with a lot of good ideas and patterns but I'm going to choose a heart and again we trace around the heart. Making a pattern ahead of time just kind of helps, but if you're good at free handing it, you could do that also. So I'm going to take the scissors. Remember we folded again because it's a little bit easier to cut it. And cut your heart out. Once we have the heart cut out, we have, we take our glue again. Put it along the edge, press it down and we have made our pocket that we're going to slip our picture into. Now you may want to embellish that with several different things to decorate it for Valentine's Day. I chose to use markers again. But you can really get creative and this is where the personal touch really comes in. You can add a lot of personal touch to this. Then again you open it again and add your own personal message and you have a Valentine's card."
