A Very Valentiny Craft

Maggie needs to take valentine cards for each of her classmates, so she decided to make them this year instead of using the old Hello Kitty stand-by version. And then she thought we should blog about it - step by step.
First, cut out hearts - you need three for each valentine. We used our Silhouette machine - a Cricut would also work, or you can do it the old fashioned way - by hand.

Cut lengths of ribbon - you will loop it, so make sure it's long enough.

Write "Happy Valentine's Day" and your name on one of the hearts; then it's time to break out the glue.
Spread a liberal amount of glue (using a glue stick) on the back of the heart you wrote on. Loop the ribbon and press the ends into the glue.
Add a little more glue on top of the ribbon.
Fold heart number 2 in half...
Then press it onto half of the gluey heart. Spread glue over the exposed half of heart number 2.
Press heart number three on top.
Fold creases into the middle of each heart.


All done!

Make 16 more for your classmates. We plan to slice little cuts into one side of a heart (top and bottom) and stick a pixie stick through. (Because what is a valentine card without candy, after all!!) Hope you have a sweet Valentine's Day!
