Instructions for making a Valentine’s Day card
Step 1
For small Valentine’s Day cards, print our hearts template. Alternatively, draw a large heart on a piece of cardstock.
Step 2
Cut out your hearts and then fold them in half.
Step 3
Paint one half of your paper heart with a generous amount of paint. Fold the heart in half again and press down – be careful as some of the paint might come out on the sides depending on how much you put on. Unfold it and you’ll see a mirror image of your paint on the other side. Set your Valentine’s Day hearts aside to dry.
Step 4
Fold your colored card stock in half. Glue the paper hearts onto the front of each card.
