Simple Valentine’s Day Card and Wrapping Paper

February 5, 2015 By jbmumofone 14 Comments

It has been a while since we have done anything crafty and with Valentine’s just around the corner today we decided to have a go at some homemade wrapping paper and Valentine’s card.

Supplies for this are very simple so great if you are on a budget.

We used:

  • Brown paper
  • Red paint
  • Toilet roll tube
  • White card
  • Googley eyes

Valentine's craft supplies

 

For the wrapping paper we simply squished our toilet roll tube a bit to make a slightly wonky heart shape, dipped in the paint and stamped away.  The other paint pots came in handy for holding the paper flat.

For the card we decided to go with just the one heart and, as no craft in this house is ever complete without some googley eyes, we added these to make into a little love-bug.

Cheap, simple and toddler friendly too.  Crafty-crafty eh?

    Love this! Tom is sticking goggly eyes on everything in sight at the moment, so I might see if I can persuade him to do this with me and put them to slightly better use! xx

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
