Caroline’s Craft Corner: Easy DIY Valentines

Handmade cards are the best when it comes to Valentine’s day gifts and nothing shows that special someone you care more than a handmade note. These two cards are simple, easy and perfect for that person in your life on Valentine’s day. 

Sweet Heart 

Materials: 

  • Construction paper
  • Googly eyes
  • Liquid Glue
  • Scissors 
  • Pencil 
  • Fine point marker or pen

Steps:

  1. Starting in the corner of your paper, free draw the top of a heart with the pencil. Starting from the corner gives a more precise heart shape than free drawing the whole shape.
  2. Once the heart is drawn, cut it out with scissors. 
  3. Using the glue, place small drops on the back of the googly eyes and place them towards the center of the heart then draw on a little smile below.

 

Light of my Life 

Materials: 

  • Construction paper
  • Small wax candle 
  • Liquid glue
  • Scissors
  • Fine point marker or pen

Steps:

  1. Eyeball a small rectangle shape on your paper then with the scissors, cut it out.
  2. Grab the small candlestick next and lay a thin line of glue along one side then place it in the center of the rectangle.
  3. Lastly, write out the ever cheesy message “You light up my life” below the candle.
  4. (Optional) Add embellishments around the sides of the card like snipping the corners or drawing on little hearts around the card.

Happy Crafting!
