Craft Supplies:
- Paper Trimmer
- Small Paper Heart Doilies
- Cardstock Paper

Directions:

- 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 🙂
