Hi everyone! It’s a little late in the day but if you have just realised you don’t have a Valentine’s card to give your loved one tomorrow morning…do not fret, if you have a few buttons, some glue and card hanging around, we can help you transform them into a pretty, unique card!
You will need:
- A5 piece of card or similar size
- Buttons – we used around 35 of varying sizes, but this depends on what size you want the heart to be
- Strong glue – we used UHU
- A pencil
Print recipeDirections
| Step 1 | |
 Fold your piece of card in half. Assemble the glue and buttons and place the newspaper on the table. | |
| Step 2 | |
 Arrange the buttons in a heart shape on the card. You may want to draw an outline with a pencil so you have a guide. | |
| Step 3 | |
 Rub the pencil outline out if necessary. Start sticking the buttons down. Put a little strong glue on a button and press it down firmly for 30-60 seconds on the desired spot. | |
| Step 4 | |
 Continue glueing and adding all the buttons until the heart is complete. Place a heavy book on the heart to ensure all the buttons are secure. | |
I also made a very quick gift tag using kraft brown card, coloured paper, paper glue and some ribbon. Cut out a gift tag shape from the card, holepunch a single hole in the top and thread through some pretty ribbon. Cut out a heart from some coloured paper and glue it onto the card. Simple as that! :)
Happy Valentine’s Day x
