Supplies Needed

Here are the supplies you’ll need to make the heart button card:

• White cardstock
• Buttons – red or pink (or any color you’d like!)
• Large Wilton heart cookie cutter or use a printed heart template
• Hot glue (adult assistance required) or you can use tacky glue or glue dots
• Pencil

Directions to Make a Button Heart

1. Trace a heart onto your card.

If using a regular sheet of cardstock, fold the cardstock in half to create a card.

Trace the heart onto your blank card using the outside of a heart cookie cutter.

You can also print off a heart template and trace the template.

2.  Glue buttons on the heart outline.

Start by gluing buttons around the heart outline first. Hot glue works well for buttons (with adult assistance) but you can also use tacky glue. Just make sure to allow enough time for the tacky glue to dry before moving the card.

Start with one button in the middle of the top of the heart and work your way around the pencil outline.

The medium-sized buttons work well for the outline.

3. Glue more buttons inside the heart.

Continue gluing buttons inside the heart.

Start with some larger buttons and fill in the empty spaces with smaller buttons. Work your way around the heart until the center is full.

This is a fun DIY card to make for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.
