fishing you a happy valentine's day!

fishing you a happy valentine's day!

i was supposed to post this earlier this week, but i had too much to do. anyways, these were the valentine's cards i made this year for aaron's classmates. i got this idea from family fun magazine and they have tons of other great valentine's ideas on their web sight.
this fish card is so easy to make. here are the steps:
  1. cut out 2 large hearts and 1 small heart from cardstock. ( i used the template from family fun. i had to shrink to the right size.)
  2. glue on 8mm-10mm rollee-eyes depending on how big your fish is. (i used 8mm here, but i think i could have gone bigger.)
  3. draw the mouth on the fish
  4. to attach the string to the fish, use a needle and thread the string through the fish's mouth. then tie it into a knot.
  5. to attach the string to the pixie stick, use a small piece of scotch tape to tape the string to the pixie stick (alternative: a pencil)
  6. write a message on the back of the card.
have a great valentine's day!!!
