DIY Kids Valentines
Valentine's Day is a highlight every year, but not because of the romance, flowers and more. Nope. I love Valentine's Day because I get to make (or help make) 50+ Valentines for the kids' classmates, teachers, and neighbors.
I get inspired throughout the year and once used fall leaves to make rubbings for February cards. I dried and kept the leaves for the occasion. Here's a fun design for DIY Kids Valentines that's easy for the kids to make and you to pitch in - or do!
DIY Kids Valentines
Just a few materials are needed for DIY Kids Valentines including:
- Red and gold cardstock
- Sharpies - black and color for your jewels
- Scissors
- Craft mat for cutting slits
- Glue stick
- 6" rulers from the office supply store. Honestly, you could omit the rulers (cost me $.89 each) and just do the crown which is still a cute way to say 'you rule, Valentine'.
How to make DIY Kids Valentines: You Rule Valentine
- Start by cutting out your heart shape in red cardstock.
- Then cut out your crown.
- Use the tip of your scissors to cut 2 slits the width of your ruler into your red heart. Be sure to do this on top of your craft mat to avoid marking table tops.
- Write your note on the heart and decorate your crown with some jewels.
- Glue the crown to the heart.
- Slide the ruler through the slits and you're done.
