My Little L is bringing valentine cards to her little friends at preschool and instead of buying a box of valentine cards we like to try and make our own. This year, we came up with a great and simple idea. Little L painted a large piece of paper by filling it with brush strokes in red, pink and white.
While it was drying, I drew some heart shaped templates. I folded some Bristol board in half and then drew a small sized heart. I cut it out and then traced around it with a half inch boarder to make a larger sized heart.
When finished, I ended up with two hearts, looking like this.
Once the painted paper was dry, I cut it into strips.
I folded each strip in half.
Then I traced my small heart template on the strips and cut them out.
And now, to put it all together, I just glued the small painted hearts onto the large red and pink hearts. So easy! So pretty!
To personalize them, I wrote Lily's name on them below a little heart.
And what better way for her to carry them to school in than in a cute little pink snack bag!
