You only need paper and glue to make this card. It’s easy to put together and  it will surely put a smile on the face of the recipient!

 

Supplies to Make a Handprint Valentine

Here are the supplies you’ll need:

Purple cardstock(we used two colors)

Pink cardstock

Black sharpie

You can also choose different colors or use construction paper. We like to use cardstock since it’s sturdier and will last longer for a card!

Steps to Make your Handprint Valentine

1. Fold your paper over before tracing.

Then you need to trace your handprint so that the pinky finger is close to the folded part of your paper.

Then finish drawing the bottom of your handprint and cut it out.

2. When you cut out your handprint, it should look close to this.

3. Cut out 3 hearts that are equally sized.

You can easily make a heart by folding over a piece of paper and drawing half of the heart.

4. Now glue your hearts together and then glue the whole piece into the inside of your handprint card.

5. Add some embellishment to the inside of the card – you can add heart stickers, rhinestones or simply cut out smaller hearts and glue those in!

6. Now write your messages inside! If the child is too young to write, they can tell you what messages they want to put inside the card.

You can even write things that you love about the person you’re giving it to.

Or you can add a photo inside one of the hearts!

    could you further explain how you glued the hearts together? I’m a little confused on that part.
