Instructions

  • Print off the Stitch Valentine’s Cards Free Printable onto cardstock paper.
    With the needle, poke a hole through each dot on the pattern. You may want to do this step for the child. Be careful not to poke your finger! This allows you to see the pattern on both sides of the card.
  • Thread the needle and then pull the needle up through one of the holes. Tape the end of the string to the back of the card.
    Pull the needle down through a hole that's across the card, then up through the hole next to it.  Repeat till heart shape is clear.
    Tape end of thread to back of card when finished
  • Draw around the card on a piece of white copy paper and then cut it out. With a colored marker, write a message on the paper like “Happy Valentine’s Day!” (that’s original).
    Glue this to the back of the stitched card.
