Materials Required
Looking for some Valentine's Day crafts that are easy to create? Read the following article to know some easy Valentine's Day crafts.
Easy Valentine's Day Crafts
- Construction paper, scrapbook paper, gift wrap or wallpaper.
- Heart-shaped template
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Transparent tape
Instructions
- To make this craft, print and cut out a heart-shaped template or you can choose to draw your own heart-shape on a piece of stiff paper.
- The next step includes folding the paper like an accordion or a fan, making each fold of the same width as the heart template.
- Now put the folded paper on the table, and place the heart template on top of it. Remember that the compressed sections of the heart-shape should be positioned against the folds on the left and the right sides of the paper.
- In case you are using the drawn heart-shape without compressed sides, put the heart-shape on the paper in a way that the edges partly cover the sides of the paper just a little at the top.
- Outline the heart-shape and cut it out around the bottom point and also around the curves at the top. Remember not to cut the flattened edges on each side.
- Once your folded hearts are complete, they will look like a Valentine garland. In case the Valentine garland you just made isn’t long enough, you can create another and join the two with a transparent tape.
