Today’s DIY Paper Heart Doily Raccoon Valentine Card tutorial is a handmade piece that your child will be proud to give away this upcoming LOVESTRUCK holiday!
No tricks or mischievousness out of this adorable paper heart doily creature!
Whether for girl or boy, we hope our latest Raccoon Paper Heart Valentine craft idea inspires you! #gluedtomycrafts
Raccoon Card Supplies:
* Paper Trimmer
* Paper Heart Punch
* Small Gold Heart Doilies – one per raccoon card
* Colored Cardstock Paper {I used dark brown and white}
* Tape Runner Adhesive/Glue Stick
* Paper Craft Scissors
* Large Wiggle Eyes – two per raccoon card
* Large Glue Dots
* Chocolate Heart Candies – one per raccoon card {I used Reeses}
Directions:
Now I normally do these card crafts in a different step-by-step order but since everyone’s “bunny” 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 bunny is done first.
* 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 raccoon’s head.
* Next take your dark brown cardstock and cut out TWO heart shapes for the eyes and two half-circle ears. Adhere those to the paper doily.
* Now, using a large glue dot, add your chocolate heart to the center of the doily to create the raccoon’s nose.
* Finish off by adding on the googly eyes to the paper doily.
* 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 raccoon. I do not suggest these to go in an envelope but I think you knew that already 🙂
* Then add other embellishments you see fit when done trimming.
* Finally – it’s time to give away your Valentine’s Day raccoon card to someone special today!
