Create a striped sensation, and get rid of those postholiday candy canes, with these confectionary Valentine cards.
Materials
- Candy Canes
- Red card stock
- Ruler
- Color-Aid paper
- Craft knife
- Non-toxic white glue
- Markers
Instructions
- Turn the red card stock into a card by scoring a crisp center fold: simply place a ruler where the fold will be (making each half 8 by 6 inches) and run the knife along the ruler without cutting through the paper. Fold the card in half along the score line.
- Tear the Color-Aid paper into a rectangle to fit on the front of the card. The white side will show through along the ripped edges and form a pretty frame. Glue this rectangle onto the card.
- Glue two candy canes in the center, facing each other to form a heart. Be sure to keep the wrappers on. (Mini canes would also be cute.)
- Write a message in the center of the candy heart or along the outside. Don't forget to sign the inside of the card, too.
