Supplies: Wrapping Paper

  • Ribbon
    Tape
    Scissors
    Hand make a Large Glitter Heart Card (or Valentine Card)
Let’s get started:
  • First, size your paper to the box.
  • Next, add about 4 extra inches to the desired height (see middle top).(This is very important because this is where you’ll acquire the room you’ll need for the pocket.)
  • Lay the paper out flat and make a pocket fold in the middle of the paper. (see upper right — do you see how the paper is folded in the middle?)
  • Now, lay the paper flat, as you would to wrap a present, as you usually do.
  • Wrap your present.
  • Once the present is wrapped:
  • Slide your Valentine into this front pocket. Happy Valentine’s Day Wrapping!
