How to create an Envelope with a Heart

When it comes to Valentines Day cards there really are some great options out there. From this “I Like you Berry much” creative idea to this Homemade Valentines Crayon Art, if you are willing to invest the time, you can send a super special extra treat your kids can be proud of.

But in our house…let’s just say mom is lame.

So I am going to teach out how to take plain old construction paper hearts, write a cute message (yes, with a basic crayon), fold and create a handmade little envelope with it.  Btw, this craft project will forever be known as the “craft that Charlotte used hot pink permanent marker that bleed through the paper onto my cream table.”

How to create an Envelope with a Heart

What you need

  • Construction Paper
  • Double sided tape OR cute little stickers

  1. Super cute! In fact, I am designing a Valentine for my daughter’s class, and this would be the perfect envelope to put it in… Ohhhhh I am so going to do that!

  2. I’m a “lame” not-so-crafty kind of mom, so this is perfect for me! And I think I’m going to do this here soon, and make up 28 of them to put in my son’s lunch bag each day next month. 🙂

  3. Thank you for the step by step pictures – I am awful at crafts and can’t just follow text directions. Love this idea so much, I think I will have my kids write notes to their teachers on the hearts.
