How to make your own pop-up Valentine ’s Day cards

It’s not hard… all you need is some different color construction paper, scissors, glue and markers. First, fold two different color pieces of construction paper in half. On one piece, draw a heart shape making sure to draw it so the bottom and top of the heart are on the fold. Cut along the heart shape but don’t cut it all the way out. On opposite sides of the heart leave about an inch of paper uncut, this will hold the pop-up in place. Now push the heart shape forward so it is folding the opposite way as the rest of the construction paper. See how it stands up now, cute huh? Apply glue to the back of the construction paper except for the heart pop-up. Now just stick it to the other folded piece of paper, making sure the sides meet. And Voila you have a pop-up! Then you can use the markers to write sweet notes to your Valentine, or just decorate it with more hearts.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
