Tutorial:

1. Print out template

Download and print out the heart card template on any pastel colored cardstock paper. The pastel colors make the homemade card look reminiscent of traditional Valentine Day conversation hearts. If you don’t have pastel colors, simply use what you have on hand.

Another alternative is to print the cards on white cardstock and have children color the front of the card with crayons, colored pencils or markers.

2. Fold template in half

Fold the card template in half along the dashed line in the middle of the page.

3. Cut out hearts from template

Use scissors to cut out both of the heart cards from the template. Make sure to cut out only along the black line of the heart, leaving the section along the dotted line uncut.

The section along the dotted line connects the two hearts together to make the folded card.

4. Glue on googly eyes

Place two googly eyes at the top of your heart-shaped card. We love using adhesive googly eyes for simple projects like this so we don’t have to wait for any glue to dry.

5. Draw a smile

Use a black marker to draw a smile on your paper heart card.

You can get as creative as you want with designing the face of your cute Valentine card. Make a winky face, a kiss face, add eyelashes to your googly eyes, or any clever combination you can think of.
