Spray Your Own Cool Valentines!

Why

Use your Crayola Color Wonder™ Sprayer to create unique Valentines for friends and family!

Steps

1. To make stencils for your Valentines, fold plain white paper in half. Along the fold, use Crayola Scissors to cut out several hearts in different sizes. You can use both the hearts--and the spaces where you cut them out--as stencils.

2. Fold Crayola Color Wonder™ paper in half (with the back inside) to make a card cover. Place a heart stencil on the cover. Use your Color Wonder Sprayer according to package directions to spray around your heart stencil. Lift off the stencil. Spray more hearts if you wish. Personalize your card with Color Wonder Markers.

3. For the inside of your card, decorate another sheet of Color Wonder paper. Fold it and glue it inside the card cover. If you like, add craft feathers, lacy ribbons, and other holiday embellishments.

Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
