Paper Heart Doily Crab Valentine Card

Love the idea of a handmade valentine card, but hate the prep? This fun and easy paper heart doily crab valentine is ready in less than 15 minutes!

Craft Supplies:

  • Paper Trimmer
  • Small Red Heart Doilies
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Adhesive or Glue Stick
  • Craft Scissors
  • Large Glue Dots
  • Sharpie Marker
  • Small Wiggle Eyes
  • Chocolate Heart Candies

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!
