Directions for the child who wants to make his own Valentines. These simple heart decorated bookmarks are fun to make and unique to give away.
You will need:
Cut the cardboard into 2 by 6 inch strips. Fold the construction paper and cut out paper hearts of different sizes. Punch a hole in the top center, (1/2 inch from the edge) of each cardboard bookmark. Decorate the bookmark with stickers or cut-out hearts glued in place. Use a Sharpie or acid-free ink marker to write a greeting on the front of the bookmark and your name on the back. Ideas for Greetings:
Thread ribbon through the punched hole, pull tight and trim the ends to about 3 inch Now your Valentines can be fitted into envelopes or given without envelopes. You might want to add a picture of yourself, copied on a computer, printed, trimmed and glued to the bookmarks. Little ones may want to color hearts onto their bookmarks. Postage stamps salvaged from mail or purchased from a hobby store can be used to make these bookmarks truly unique. Look for the heart or dove stamps.
