THE HOW-TO DIRECTIONS:

To complete this craft, all you need is a colored printer, some cardstock, scissors, adhesive and your child’s facial picture to make it happen.

Simply download the FREE BEAR HUG CARD file first {grab it on box.com.} Print it in color on white cardstock {be sure to unclick “fit picture to frame” before hitting print}

Using scissors and/or a paper trimmer, trim out each section {you can make TWO cards with this printable!}

Now trim out the circle part of each piece. Use adhesive to add your child’s facial picture to the back of the printable, in the center of it, to create the “bear face” of the craft.

Then take your piece with the attached picture now and glue it to another sheet of cardstock, folded in half to create a 5×7″ card.

The card aspect is done at this point but now it’s time for the embellishments! You can easily add glitter, bows on top – whatever the heart desires! You can even leave it as is {especially for the boys making this craft!}

Then write a sweet message inside your masterpiece and mail and/or gift away!!!
