Thumbprint Love Bug Mason Jar Cards

First you are going to get started by snagging the FREE MASON JAR CARD PRINTABLE below!

From there, you are going to print it out on simple white cardstock and hand it over to your child. They will complete the craft by adding a “bug” of choice to the center of each card front and signing their name. Then – they will cut it out and make cards. That’s it! Easy peasy, just how we like it around here!!!

Our Thumbprint Love Bug Jar Cards idea is just too easy and oh so cute!

So come one, come all – Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and we hope we inspired you with this quick DIY! Remember – this idea is great for the classroom too!

* Repeat the thumbprint step on each card.
* Use baby wipes to remove excess ink off of fingers before washing hands completely at the sink.
* Once done, they can draw on their embellishments with various markers to bring their thumbprint love bug to life.
* Add other embellishments you see fit. I highly encourage small sticker embellishments on the antennas!
