Will you BEE my valentine? That’s exactly the message you will convey with this adorable and really easy to make “Paper Doily Bee” Card Idea!
Show them you love them this Valentine’s Day holiday with a handmade piece made by you! #gluedtomycrafts
Valentine Bee Card Supplies:
* Paper Trimmer
* Small Gold Heart Doilies – one per bee card
* Colored Cardstock Paper {I used a combo of black and white}
* Tape Runner Adhesive/Glue Stick
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Small Wiggle Eyes – two per bee card
* Large Glue Dots
* Chocolate Heart Candies – one per bee 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!
