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!!!
