Paper Punny Toast Card Craft Supplies:
- Free MY BUTTER HALF Card Files {Download PAGE 1 & PAGE 2 HERE}
- White Cardstock Paper {8.5 x 11″}
- Color Printer
- Crayons, Colored Pencils, Markers etc.
- Paper Craft Scissors
- Colored Cardstock – think Valentine’s Day Colors

- Wooden Clothespins {two per craft}

Directions:
- First things first – download and print the TWO provided free butter half toast themed printables listed above in the supply list. To make TWO cards today, you will need to print the toast outline design TWICE but the file with the hearts & words, only once. Feel free to print as many as you like but the free files are only for PERSONAL USE or in a classroom setting.
- Once you have both of the files printed out, grab your choice of coloring medium and scissors.
- Color in your printables however you like but I highly suggest BROWN for the toast and YELLOW for the butter “heart” though.
- When you are done coloring, cut out the toast shape, one heart butter shape, as well as one of the word boxes in the printable {per card you are making right now!} Save the other heart and word box in the printable, for the second card but discard excess paper from the toast printable.
- Now grab one sheet of colored cardstock {any color you like!}
- Go ahead and secure the colored in toast cutout in the center of the paper.
- Follow that up with the word box underneath it.
- Now grab your two clothespins and the heart “butter” cutout.
- Pinch the two clothespins around the heart shape to make it look like “arms” from the toast.
- Place a small amount of glue on the back of the clothespins and place them in the center of the paper toast piece.
- Finally, to finish the paper punny toast card craft, add anything else you see fit before you allow it to dry completely.
- Then display/give it away proudly for ALL to see and enjoy!
- Repeat all the steps above to complete the other phrase and second card craft!
Make It Your Own Today:
- Don’t have wooden clothespins on hand? No worries! You can always hand-cut from paper or draw on some long, stick arms instead. You could also glue down mini popsicle sticks on top instead.
- Another fun alternative to this craft idea would be to swap out the paper heart “butter” shape that you pinch in between the clothespins and place a small printed picture in there instead. It would be a more personalized approach!

For the New Year’s toast, I make templates for the kids to trace. Now I can reuse them for this!
