Arrows for Valentine

Arrows for Valentine

You will like this craft because of the endearing way it has to make a personal gift. We can make it in a traditional way with two straws, cardboard, glitter and a little ingenuity. With a card we can give that specific message for the day of Valentine's Day!, a very important day for people who love each other. Dare to do it, it's quick and easy and you have a video tutorial so you know how to do it step by step.

The materials I have used for the arrows:

  • Two decorated cardboard straws, with red and silver tones.
  • Some red cardboard.
  • Some pink cardstock.
  • A small piece of cardstock with silver glitter.
  • A small piece of card stock with red glitter.
  • Hot silicone and his gun.
  • A pen.
  • Scissors.
  • A piece of white paper.
  • 30 or 0 cm of decorative rope with red and white motifs.
  • A punch to make a small hole.
  • A card with a message that we can print here: valentine card

You can see this craft step by step in the following video:

First step:

we fold a white folio in half. We bring it closer to the straw and draw half a heart on the side where we have folded. The fact of bringing it closer to the straw will be to calculate the size we want of the heart. We cut where we have drawn the middle of the heart. The fact of doing it this way means that when we open the paper we will observe that a perfect heart has remained.

Second step:

We will use the heart that we have formed on the sheet of paper as a template to trace it on the red and pink cardboard, and thus definitively form the heart that will go on the straw. We will glue the hearts on each end of the straws.

Third step:

We approach the straw again on the underside of one of the glitter cardboard. We draw the rectangular shape that will more or less form the part of the feathers that will go on the other end of the straw. We cut and finish drawing the shape. We cut again and on each side we cut many transverse lines that will simulate the shape of the feather.

Fourth step:

With one of the formed feathers we use it as a tracing to make another of the feathers in the other glitter cardboard. We will place both at the other ends of the straws. We fold up the lines that we have cut.

Fifth step:

We print and cut a card that we can place with the arrows. we will make a hole and we will put the piece of rope decorative. We will wrap the rope around one of the arrows. And we will have our arrows ready for Valentine's Day.
