Valentine's

Supplies Needed:

Instructions:

  1. Pick 4 pieces of paper: 3 pieces of coordinating colored card stock, and 1 piece of scrap book paper.
  2. Take the piece of scrap book paper, fold it, and draw a heart half at the fold to make your heart card template. For best results, fold 3″ or 8cm.
  3. Take a full piece of the card stock and fold it in half by length. Cut it down to a square.
  4. Open the card, and place it face down on the table. Place your first heart face down on top of the card, with the spines aligned. Trace around it with your pencil.
  5. Fold the card stock and cut around the heart, leaving a small section on each side of the heart attached to the card. Gently fold the heart inward to the inside of the card.
  6. Trace the heart on a flat piece of card stock and cut it out.
  7. Glue your first heart over the heart attached to the card.
  8. Take your 4th piece of paper, cut it down to the size of the card, and glue it to the outside of the cut-heart-card. 
  9. Add pineapple stickers on the inside or outside of the card.
  10. Optional: Have you and your kids write sweet messages and pop it into an envelope.
