Get creative this Valentine’s Day by making your own cute
cupid cards.
List of things you will need:
Brown envelopes
Coloured card of your choice
Straws
Metallic pens
Scissors
Glue
Firstly decided on a colour theme that works, something a little clashy
and within the theme of valentines (aka: pink or red heart) works really well.
Step 1 – start by creating the heart shape. You can use a stencil,
download a template of a heart from the internet and draw around that. I printed
a heart shape (just by using google images) and placing it onto a thick piece
of card. This makes it so much easier to draw around and get a really symmetrical
shape like a stencil. You need 2 heart pieces for every 1 cupid card you make. My cards are in bits of A5, after folding them a few times you are able to get x4 the amount of shapes from one bit of card.
Step 2 - Cut the straws into pieces about 8-10cms long.
Step 3 - Make the tail by using an arrow like template. (to make this
easier you could just use a triangle shaped tail) I did the same with step 1 as
I have done for step 3, make sure you cut out 2 pieces for the arrow's.
Step 4- Then with your metallic pens draw faces on the heart or write a
cute message! Be as creative and wild as you like.
Step 5 – glue all pieces together, then voila! A cute cupid card.
Make sure you pop them in the post in time for your valentine on the 14th
feb! Enjoy guys I hope you get lots in return & send me pictures of your
creations!
