Wrapped with Love Valentine – Handmade Valentines Project

Gift wrap your handmade valentine with paper strips and bows and tag it with two hearts bearing your names.

Materials Required:

Cream colored card blank – 6″ x 4″ Red craft paper 2 Red Heart cutouts/dies Metallic Pen Scissors, Glue and Pencil

Directions:

1. Cut long strips from red craft paper to make the horizontal and vertical ‘ribbons’.

2. Fold a small rectangle cutout of red craft paper accordion style (like you would fold a Victorian fan) and glue it in the center to make the bow. You can also use a small strip of paper and tie the bow with it in the center and glue or tape it on the backside.

3. For the curling ribbons, take two strips of red craft paper and fold them over a pencil or other similar object. Hold the strips curled over the pencil for some time and then loosen. You will get beautifully curled strips of paper. Glue two curled strips below the bow.

4. Glue two red colored heart cutouts and use metallic pen to write your name on one and that of your Valentine on the other.
