Making an "I Knead You" Valentine's Card

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 1 card

Supplies:

• red and white craft paper
• scissors
• piece of cardboard
• glue
• black pen

Steps:

1. Cut out a long rectangle from the red paper. Mine is about 8" x 4". Fold it in half to make the card base.

 
2. To make the dough, freehand cut out a blob from the white paper. Make sure it's smaller than the front of the card.

 
3. To make the rolling pin, cut out a thin rectangle from the cardboard. Cut each end out to resemble the top of a bottle.

4. Glue the dough onto the card, then glue the rolling pin onto the dough. Keep space at the bottom for your message.

 
5. To make sparkly cartoon eyes, draw a circle, then draw 2 smaller circles diagonally inside.

 
6. Fill in around the 2 smaller circles and repeat on the other side. Add a mouth.

 
7. Do the same on the dough. I gave it a shocked look!

8. Write "I knead you" underneath. You can add more details if you like. As you can see in the final photo, I added some lines from the pressure of the kneading!
