Materials Needed to Make a Bear Heart Craft Card

Steps to Make a Bear Heart Craft Card

Print out the templates on each coloured cardstock paper.

Use dark coloured paper for the template with the face (the ones with oval shapes) while the light coloured ones for the other parts of the bear.

Cut out every piece of the template with glue stick in tow.

The heart shape and all the pieces on the template

Some of the pieces can be tricky but it’s fine as long they have fun making it.

Start by glueing the smaller ear pieces to the bigger ones. Then glue them on both sides of the face.

Glue the eyes, nose and cheek pieces as shown in the picture.

Use a marker to define the nose by drawing a circle and two slants underneath

Repeat the same process to make the smaller bear.

Glue your Bears to the heart card. Leave some space to write a message  on the card.

Then glue the bow ties to both bears.

You could opt to make just one bear. This will give more space to write messages for further decorate as you please.

Happy crafting.
