Show them you love them this Valentine’s Day holiday with a handmade piece made by you! #gluedtomycrafts
Valentine Doily Bee Card Supplies:
* Paper Trimmer
* Small Gold Heart Doilies
* Colored Cardstock {I used a combo of black and white}
* Tape Runner Adhesive/Glue Stick
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Large Glue Dots
* Chocolate Heart Candies -one per valentine card {I used Reeses}
Directions:
Now I normally do these card crafts in a different step-by-step order but since everyone’s “bee” could potentially be a different size from mine, I suggest working a bit backwards on this craft! Don’t make your final card shape until your paper doily bee is done first. Then trim your card down from there.
* So on that note, first things first – use adhesive to adhere your gold paper heart doily to the center of a single sheet of white cardstock. This will be the bee’s body.
* Next take your black cardstock and cut out a head, stringer and black stripes. Adhere those to your paper doily.
* Now, using a large glue dot, add your chocolate heart to the center of the doily.
* Finish off by adding on the googly eyes to the head and drawing on wings with the black sharpie marker.
* 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 bee. I do not suggest these to go in an envelope but I think you knew that already :-) Add other embellishments you see fit when done trimming.
* Finally – it’s time to your creation gift away!
