DIY with Trimaco (Tri DIY with us!)
Love is in the air! As valentine’s day quickly approaches, what better way to show your love with hand-made, personalized valentines for friends and loved ones. These easy Red Rosin Paper valentine’s day cards are the perfect craft to do with young kids, on a cold February afternoon. Follow these simple steps to get started, and then let your creativity kick in:
Materials needed:
Directions:
- First gather your materials and lay down a Trimaco 6 x 8 One Tuff Dropcloth to protect your surface and make clean up a breeze. You’ll thank us if you choose to add glitter to your cards.
- Next, plan out what you want your card to look like. We went for less traditional card shapes, such as a hearts and circles.
- Sketch out your shape on the Heavy-Weight Red Rosin Paper, and then cut with scissors. An easy heart shape can be made by folding a piece of Red Rosin paper in half, and then sketching and cutting out a half-shaped heart.
Tip: If your shape rolls up on the edges, feel free to use a piece of tape to secure the sides down.
- Once you are pleased with the shape of your heart, let your creativity kick in. We used doilies, stickers, glitter, glue and markers to decorate our cards.
- Once the cards are dry: sign, seal and deliver your valentine to a friend or loved one.
Tricks we learned along the way
- Since permanent markers will bleed through the Red Rosin Paper, we suggest using colored art markers, colored pencils or crayons.
- Make sure you plug in your hot glue gun at the beginning of your project, so it is ready to go when needed!
- Make sure your valentine’s day cards dry completely before folding and delivering.
