Cupcake Liner Valentine Dinosaur Craft Idea For Kids
RAWR! It’s Stacey from Glued To My Crafts coming at ya with another CUPCAKE LINER CARD craft idea! This time we are focusing on DINOSAURS!
Using inexpensive red, purple and red cupcake liners, you too can create “dino-mite” cards within minutes. I think our latest handmade Valentine dinosaur card tutorial {whether you are a child or an adult} is the perfect craft to make this upcoming lovestruck season!
Besides the cupcake liners, all you need is some cardstock paper, markers, wiggle eyes and a glue stick. That’s it! That’s the ROAR-SOME thing about it – super simple supplies! I bet you could do this craft right now with what YOU have on hand already!
Plus you can easily write messages like “You are DINO-MITE” or “You make my heart SAUR!” in the inside, to really tie it all together.
On that note, I just hope you are inspired by my quick cupcake liner dinosaur craft idea that you will find below. I got my fingers {and toes} crossed that you will either decide to help your child make these dinosaur themed cards to spread some Valentine’s Day cheer in the classroom or perhaps you take on the challenge yourself & make a few for friends, family or your coworkers at work. Basically anyone who could use a smile right now! Whoever and whatever the reason behind you making your cards – I hope it all started from this very post on Glued To My Crafts today!
ANOTHER CLEVER CRAFT IDEA —> Handprint “Dino-Mite” Keepsake
Make a cute and easy cupcake liner dinosaur card – perfect for birthdays, greeting cards, thank you cards and more!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Cupcake Liners
- White Cardstock Paper
- Cardstock Cards
- Glue Stick or Tape Runner
- Basic Craft Scissors
- Small Wiggle Eyes
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Crayons or Coloring Pencils
- optional materials – Valentine’s Day Embellishments
Directions:
- First things first – grab your cupcake liner {one per dinosaur card} and flatten it out with your hands.
- Go ahead and fold your cupcake liner in half and place a small amount of glue in the inside of it, so it won’t come apart.
- Now glue that folded cupcake liner onto your card front. This is your dinosaur’s body and where we are going to build from.
- Next grab your Sharpie marker and start drawing on your dinosaur embellishments. I suggest starting with the head, then add the tail, add the spikes and finally the legs.
- Now use the crayons to color in the dinosaur design.
- Follow that up by gluing on a wiggle eye so the dinosaur can see.
- To finish off the cupcake liner dinosaur card – take your Sharpie marker and write a quirky or punny message on the front of your card {there are few examples of sayings below!}
- Then add other embellishments you see fit {I added small heart stickers on the cupcake liner body of the dinosaur} Feel free to change it up and really make it your own!
- When done, allow it all to dry completely before you give it away proudly!
