Well, it seems like we have been SUPER busy the last few weeks, so I am just now getting around to posting some cute Vday items. Better late than never, I suppose. My little jellybeans and I made their Vday boxes for their school parties. Bray made a locker, and Ava made a love bug. Click on "READ MORE" below to see the step by step tutorial (with pictures) for Ava's love bug mailbox...
You will need....
~ Mailbox
~Eyes
~ Glue
~ Scissors
~ Tape
~ Black Glitter
~ Black paper
~ Black paper
~ Red Paper
~ Stickers
~ Black Pipe Cleaners
First, cover your mailbox with black construction paper ( I use tacky glue).
Next, you will cut red wings out and glue them on (notice that the bottom of the "wings" are curved). Leave a small space by making a slight "V" in the middle of the top.
Cut out 3 different sized heart shapes. I cut 4 big, 4 medium, and 8 small hearts. I used my Silhouette to make things quicker, but you can cut by hand if needed. After you have the hearts cut out, brush on a clear drying glue, then sprinkle with black glitter.
Glue on your hearts in whatever pattern you like.
Curl your pipe cleaners on one end around a pencil 2 full times, then loosen to set the shape.
Cut out a circle for the face. Next, glue on the antenna's and eyes.
Cut out a pair of lips (once again, I cheated and used my Silhouette). I added some sparkle to them by brushing with red glitter. Add your child's name with the stickers under the face, and voile....you're done!!!
