A creative Mother's day idea, make mom a keepsake card. For reference, see the how-to craft videos for these cards and make her Mother's Day with a handmade memento!
Preparation
Materials:
Lollipop Mold 30 sheets toilet paper
White glue
Teaspoon
1/4 cup water
Heart-shaped lollipop mold*
Scissors
1 card
Double-stick tape
Vellum paper with quotes and designs
Thin white ribbon
Craft Instructions:
1. Place toilet paper sheets in a stack on a disposable plastic plate. 2. Add 1 teaspoon of glue to ΒΌ cup of water and mix well.
3. Pour glue-water mixture over toilet paper until saturated (photo Step 3).
4. Place wet toilet paper stack over lollipop mold and press down, so paper gets into the impression of the mold (photo Step 4). Allow paper to dry completely. You can speed up the drying process by using a blow dryer like I did in the video.
5. Unmold the paper heart. Trim around the heart to get rid of the excess paper (photo Step 5).
6. Use double-stick tape to put a vellum paper rectangle on the front of the card as an overlay. Then, add a quote to the bottom half of the card.
Look in the scrapbook section of the craft store for quotes on vellum paper or use clear quote stickers.
7. Glue the paper heart on to the top half of the card (photo Step 7). Use glue to attach a white ribbon as an accent on the heart.
*Label the lollipop mold as "crafts" as it should no longer be used for food after you have used it for crafting.
