We think Valentine’s Day is a great day to celebrate love, not just the love between two people in love, but also the love between friends – it’s a different kind of love and worth celebrating (especially with kids).
Valentine’s Day cards are a great way to show appreciation, so we wanted to share these card making tutorials with all of you.
How to make a rotating heart card for Valentine’s Day
What you need:
- card base
- scrapbook paper or craft paper
- red craft paper or scrapbook paper for
- circle punch (giant) – you can also use a circle cutter or even cut out circles with scissors
- drag
- glue
- yarn / thread
- washi tape or clear tape
Step by step instructions
You can make the card base by cutting a letter or A4 sized piece of paper in half and then folding the smaller piece of paper in half.
Trace the bound card onto scrapbook paper.
Open the card and align the scrapbook paper with the right side out (don’t glue it! However, you can use a paper clip to hold it in place).
Use a hole punch to punch holes in both the card and the cardstock.
Your post should look like this.
Set the scrapbook paper aside.
For perfect size, punch out two red circles.
Fold the circles in half and draw half a heart shape (like you want to write the number 2)
Cut out 2 hearts.
Apply glue to one of the hearts and place the thread in the center.
Glue the remaining heart on top.
Wait a moment for the glue to dry.
Place the heart into the hole on the card, position it correctly and secure the thread with washi tape (or clear tape)
Apply glue to the entire surface of the card.
And put the sticker on top.
Wait for the glue to dry.
Once dry, open the card and spin the heart a few times (winding the mechanism ;).
While keeping the heart shape intact, carefully close the card, not allowing the heart shape to rotate.
When the recipient opens the card, the heart will start spinning.
All that’s left to do is gift this rotating heart Valentine card to someone who deserves it :).
