Simple Modern Valentine

So I was wondering do tweens actually make their own Valentine cards?

Probably not as it is time consuming to cut out 54 hearts but with some digital shortcuts maybe they might like the idea.

"Don't Go Breakin" My Heart" with instructions to (go ahead tear open this heart for a surprise) is simple to construct and will hold a small token as a gift. I was thinking erasers for boys and pipe cleaner rings for girls.

I already had the coloured computer paper on hand and created a PDF to print out for anyone who wants to use the template.

BTW for the life of me I can't figure out how to embed a PDF file in my blog post. If you know make my day send me an email.

Sneak Peek - Valentine Ideas

So I have been searching for some easy ideas for tween and girlfriend valentines.

My favourites are: the heart bookmark made from half a sheet of 15 cm. origami paper and the heart package "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" made from letter size neon paper.

And I figured out how to make a lucky heart bookmark. Warning there will be glitter involved..

I'll be posting the DIY`s over the next few weeks.
