Make a Valentine card for a VERY special person in your life!
To make a Valentine Pop-up Card, you will need:
•
•
•
•
•
Two pieces of stiff colored paper (each a different color) plus a few scraps of paper
A photograph or drawing
Markers or crayons
Scissors
Glue and tape.
Fold each piece of paper in half.
To make the two hearts you will need, cut one of the pieces of paper in
half along the fold.
Fold each of these pieces in half and cut along the fold.
Draw half a heart on each (around the fold).
Cut along the line you drew. This will make 2 hearts.
Fold one of the hearts in half.
Draw a small half-heart on the folded heart and cut along the lines. This
forms the picture frame.
Cut the photo/drawing to fit inside the heart frame.
Assemble the picture frame by placing the center-less heart on the photo and
gluing it down.
Glue the solid heart to the front of the card. Decorate the front of the card
with markers or crayons, or with tiny cut-out hearts.
Cut two strips of paper (about 1 inch by 8 inches). Any color will do.
Position the strips perpendicular to each other. Staple them together where
they overlap.
Fold one strip over the other, like an accordion or spring.
Continue folding, making a springy strip.
Tape the springy strip to the inside of the card.
Tape the heart photo in the frame to the springy strip.
Write a message on your card!
