When you’re looking for something fun and easy to do with the kids, try this cute paper heart snail card DIY idea. This craft is perfect also as a birthday or Mother’s Day gift!

Craft Supplies:

Paper Trimmer
Small Paper Heart Doilies
Cardstock Paper
Adhesive/Glue Stick
Paper Craft Scissors
Large Glue Dots
Markers
Wiggle Eye Stickers
Chocolate Heart Candies

Directions:

First things first – use adhesive to adhere your paper heart doily to the center of a single sheet of cardstock. This will be the snail’s shell.
Next take your cardstock and cut out a body for the snail. Adhere it your original cardstock piece.
Next glue on the wiggle eyes so your snail can see.
Take your marker and draw on antennas
Now the final step – take your paper trimmer and NOW trim down your piece to create the valentine card. The size of yours may depend on how big you made your snail. 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 as the center of your Valentine {use large glue dots for this step!}
Finally – it’s time to give away your Valentine’s Day snail card creation to the lucky receiver!
