Making Valentine's Cards
Today I packed up
everything I could think of that might be useful for making Valentine's
Day Cards:
- Doilies
(white and gold)
- Foam shapes
- Satin ribbon
in spring colors
- Lace ribbon
- Pink paper
- Glitter glue
- Fabric
- Decorative
buttons
- Hole Punch
Then I went to a
friends where we got everything out on the table and let the kids set
off to work to make Valentine's Day cards. We took card stock, bright
white paper cut 8" x 10" pieces of paper in half and then folded them in
half to make a card. We gave each child a card and the materials above
and let them loose.
I have to admit
that after we got started I felt encouraged to jump in make some cards
myself. Everyone had fun! I think I had more fun than anyone as I let
myself loose and used all these materials I had been keeping for a
"special day"! I got so involved in making cards. I found myself making
a special card for my husband, my son, my daughter and my friend. And
each card spoke to me about that person.
So gather up what
you have on hand to let the kids go to town cutting and pasting and
gluing and designing! I bet you will find yourself right in there
working on cards too! |
