This is a favorite craft of mine, and you'll find me giving out hearts for sleeves again this year. I have a few friends that continue to wear their hearts year round - which I highly recommend.
For this craft, you will need:
Scissors
a glue stick
white paper (8.5 x 11)
construction paper
some safety pins
some scraps of felt
pencil crayons or markers
a small hole punch (smaller than the regular size!)
Using your scissors, cut out some heart shapes from your felt. Hearts can be whatever size you'd like, but the size of a toonie is best for this craft. With the help of an adult, fasten a safety pin to the heart, and set aside.
Fold your white paper into four and cut out a T-shirt shape by taking 2 rectangles off the sides, and one half circle out of the top, this is your neck line on the t shirt.
Fold your construction paper in half, and cut it. Then fold again to make your card.
Glue the t-shirt shape to the front of the card
Punch 2 holes on the sleeve of the t shirt, and use the holes to fasten the heart and safety pin to the card.
Use your pencil crayons or markers to customize the shirts and write a message inside your valentine.
