Olaf Valentines Day idea #1 tutorial

Here’s the Olaf Valentines Day idea #1 tutorial and it’s all about putting the first Valentine together. [By way of explanation, “Valentine’s Day” doesn’t have an apostrophe because of the ding-dong-dang limits set by WordPress for a title. It will henceforth be: Olaf Valentine’s Day idea tutorial #1.]

This is the ‘how-to’ post. After you’ve seen how to put one together, the rest will be a breeze. Let’s get started.

Here’s the first Olaf Valentine’s Day idea completed.

[So cute. Just so cute.]

There are four Valentines per printable page.

It works to leave the tiny hearts suspended–or–you can connect them with a very fine marker, a ball point pen or a crayon, I suspect.

[I’ll show you that in a minute.]

And here’s the ‘how-to” part.

You’ll need:

— white cardstock

[If you have 40 kids who need a Valentine, you’ll need 10 pieces of cardstock. Use any color you’d like to but remember that darker colors will camouflage the words.]

— a fine marker, ballpoint pen, or a crayon

— double sticky tape

— one piece of Valentine’s Day candy or something to tape to the card

— print your Valentine cards [there are 4/page]

[Suggestion: print the first one on a piece of copy paper just to make sure it looks like you want it to.]

–cut the 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper into quarters

If you leave the hearts suspended, all you need to do is to get your little one to sign their name/tape a heart on and it’s done.

It’s simple. And it’s done.

If you want to add an extra ‘cute’ to the valentine…

— draw a loop from each heart–8 total.

[That will take about 4 seconds.]

— draw a string ‘through’ the loops.

[That will also take about 4 seconds.]

— tape a chocolate treat to the card

— sign the card

Voila.

And that [drum roll, hand clap, jubilant skip, hummity-hum, cartwheel] is idea #1.

Here’s the printable.

[Just to make sure you realize, it’s the same one that was posted yesterday.]

It would be all kinds of delightful if you wanted to send me a pic of you and your little one(s) putting these together. All kinds of delightful.

Mwaa.

One down–three to go.
