Valentine's Day: Beaded Card
This technique uses seed beads instead of glitter to make a special message!
you'll need Materials
- Seed beads
- Craft glue in a bottle
- Paper
- Craft tray
- Blank card set OR fold cardstock and make your own
- Smock
- Pencil
Directions
- Put your paper sheet on your craft tray. This will catch any excess beads.
- Lightly draw a heart or shape of your choice in the centre of your card.
- Trace over your heart using glue. (To make a thin line, only open the nozzle on your glue half way, depending on the model.)
- Sprinkle your seed beads into the glue.
- Shake off the excess onto the paper in your craft tray.
- Roll the paper into a funnel shape and then put the beads back into the container.
- Allow your card to dry overnight, write a special message inside and then give it to a friend, teacher, neighbour or relative.
Purpose
- Making interesting materials for written communication.
Safety Notes
- Use a craft tray and a smock to protect surfaces from damage that may occur with glue.
- Beads can be a choking hazard. Be sure to keep them out of reach from children ages 0-3 years or those that tend to put things in their mouths.
