How to Make Valentine's Cards

Hello everyone!

Soon it will be February and therefore Valentine's Day.
And a good option is to give away little cards as a sign of our love for others.
This time we will make our own cards in which can participate our little ones.

For this activity we will need the following:

Materials:

• Construction paper (red & pink)
• White paper (bond)
• Stickers (or any embellishment we have at home)
• Hot glue gun
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Glue or glue stick
• Scissors

How to do it:

• First thing we need to do is print any image we like on bond paper. (I printed the phrase "Happy Valentine's Day", but can be whatever you like it more).

• We will draw and cut a rectangle on the construction paper (pink or red)  with a card measures. (I cut different sizes of cards. 4 x 6, 3 x 5, & 3 x 3).But this depends on the size you want your cards to be. 
• You're going to cut the phrases you printed on the bond paper, (as shown in the picture).

• Now we will fold in half the construction paper to make our Valentine's card.
• Then, we'll glue the white paper (with the printed phrase) on our card.

• Then we'll start decorating our card with stickers or any paper embellishment that we find at home. I used a paper trim that I had bought last year at the dollar store.

•  For the stickers to have a 3D effect, you can put a little piece of foamy before you attach the sticker to the card.

• And presto! When you finish adding all the details you want, you'll have a beautiful Valentine's card!

• Here I leave other cards that my little daughter and I made, to her classmates and the teacher. 
• And remember!!! The imagination is endless; you just have to dare to create a new project!!!

Happy Valentine's Day in company of your loved ones!

Kisses and more kisses from Julieta!!!

How to make a beautiful bee with EVA foam

Hi, everyone!!!

Beautiful are the days where spring blooms and fields are full of flowers, and how could we forget the best friends of flowers: the cute little bees. 

This time we will learn how to make a cute bee with EVA foam. This way, we can feel the spring inside our home all year long.

Materials:

• EVA foam (baby blue, black and yellow)
• 2 pom poms
• 2 chenille stripes.
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• White paper (to trace the templates)
• Pencil
• Permanent marker (black)
• Fine-tipped paintbrush
• Acrylic paint (white)
• Pink blush

How to do it:

• Let us first trace and cut the bee of our choice in the white paper. So we get our templates.

• After this you need to trace and cut out the bee templates in the corresponding EVA foam color, as shown in the picture. Remember to cut 2 eyes and the mouth of the bee. 

• Make the antennas with the 2 stripes of chenille, to achieve this you only need to screw the 2 stripes of chenille and then make the shape of each antenna with your fingers.
• At the tip of each antenna you will paste a pompom
• Now, let's put all the pieces of the bee together with hot glue.
• You can add more detail adding a beautiful cheeks with pink blush, a cute nose and funny freckles!!!

Finally if you want your little bee to be more detailed  you can add some details with white acrylic paint, like I did.

And presto, we finished our bee! Ready to keep the spring all year long inside our home!
