Instructions
-
1
Use a pair of scissors in order to cut a piece of card stock, 6×6 inches in size. Make sure that the blades of the scissors you use are sharp so that a clean cut can be achieved.
-
2
With a pencil, outline a heart shape on the piece of card stock and then use a pair of scissors to cut out the heart shape.
-
3
Along the perimeter of the heart shaped card, punch holes with a hole punch. Keep the holes evenly spaced to make the card look more attractive.
-
4
From a spool of ¼-inch-wide ribbon, cut a piece which should be 1 yard in length.
-
5
Feed one end of the ribbon through the hole at the top of the card’s centre. Pull the ribbon halfway, dividing it into two sections of 6 inches each, without cutting the piece of ribbon into two.
-
6
Bring the ribbon’s long end over the heart’s edge and insert the other end of the ribbon through the hole right next to the first hole.
-
7
Continue in a similar fashion until you have fed the ribbon through all the holes on the perimeter of the heart shaped card.
-
8
When none of the perimeter holes remain without ribbon, tie the ribbons ends into a beautiful bow. The bow you tie should be of average size.

9
Use stickers, markers or stamps made out of rubber to decorate the front part of the card. To finish the card, write a message that you would want to convey to the person for whom you are making the Valentine card.
