Valentine Rolo Boxes

You will need:-

Piece of card

Red wrapping paper (sparkly or shiny)

Photographic film box

Rolo (or other small chocolate) (there was a long running advertising campaign with the slogan "Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo" so it's quite fitting!)

Glue, scissors, pencil

What to do:-

Draw a heart shape on the card big enough to cover the top of the film canister. Cut it out and draw round it on the red paper, cut this out and stick together.

Stick this heart onto the top of the film box. Decorate the side of the box with more red paper.

Put the Rolo in the box and give to your Valentine!

 

 

Foam Flower Clips

You will need:-

Thin craft foam in bright colours

Hair clips (the type that snap open and shut when you bend them)

Good glue (a glue gun is great for this)

Pencils, scissors and paper.

What to do:-

Draw a flower shape on some paper, cut round it and use as a template.

Use template on foam and cut out.

Cut out a circle in a contrasting colour for the flower centre.

Stick the two foam pieces together, then glue to hair clip.

 

 

Paper Bead Necklaces

You will need:-

Wrapping paper, any type, sparkly or shiny is nice.

Card (for you to make template with, draw it using a ruler. It should be a long triangle shape with the base 1cm across ending in a tip with the triangle about 6cms long)

Glue

Cocktail sticks

Leather thong

What to do:-

Draw round the template on card three times and cut out.

Spread glue over half of the shape, leaving the top (thicker) end dry.

Starting from the thick end roll the bead up using a cocktail stick.

Pull the bead off the stick and thread onto the thong, do this two more times and tie the necklace with a reef knot.
