Monday Funday: Whoo Will Be Mine? Valentine Holder
Welcome back from the weekend. While
you may not be ready for the workweek to begin look at this way, Valentine’s
Day is one day closer. For the last week or so we have been showing some cute
and easy Valentine’s Day crafts. Several of the crafts we’ve shown are
cardholders. A cardholder is a must have item for kids to have, because while
they are in school they receive so many of them. One of the best surfaces to
use to create these holders is cereal box. Use a cereal box to create this
super cute Valentine owl. Laura Bray created this adorable project using Mod
Podge and several other supplies. This is a very simple project to create, and
won’t take long at all to complete. See below for all the supplies you’ll need
and to see the instructions.
