Paper Heart Doily Crab Valentine Supplies:

* Paper Trimmer
* Small Red Heart Doilies
* Colored Cardstock {I used red and white}
* Tape Runner Adhesive or Glue Stick
* Craft Scissors
* Large Glue Dots
* Red Thick Tip Sharpie Marker
* Small Wiggle Eye
* Chocolate Heart Candies {I used Reeses}

Directions:

* First things first – use adhesive to adhere your red paper heart doily to the center of a single sheet of cardstock. You will want your heart to be upside down to give the look of the body of the crab..
* Next take your red Sharpie marker and draw lines for the arms, legs and eyes on the crab. Use my picture for an example.
* Next glue on the wiggle eyes.
* Now the final step – take your paper trimmer and NOW trim down your card to create the valentine. The size of yours may depend on how big you made your crab. I do not suggest these to go in an envelope but I think you knew that already 🙂
* Add other embellishments you see fit, along with your chocolate heart CLAW candies in each corner of the Valentine {use large glue dots for this step!}
* Finally – it’s time to your creation gift away!
