Hello everyone! This is Heidi from My Paper Crane.
Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner I thought I'd share a little paper craft cupid that is pretty foolproof and easy. (Download here!)
You'll need:
-brads (you can find these in lots of colors and sizes, go with the small size.
If you'd like them to be even less noticeable look for a peach color, I used silver)
If you'd like them to be even less noticeable look for a peach color, I used silver)
-2 white feathers (I don't like to buy real feathers but these came in a thrifted box of mixed craft supplies. Instead of real feather you can cut some out of white paper, or felt.)
-tape
-card stock (1 sheet)
-color printer
-scissors
-hole punch
Instructions:
1. Print the cupid onto the card stock. Make sure you choose "fit to page" option.
2. Use cutting guides to cut out all the body parts.
3. Use your hole punch (I used a mini one) to punch holes for the brads.
Use the darker pink dots as guides.
4. Use the brads to add his arms and legs.
5. Tape the ends of the wings to his back and your done!

Thank-you Heidi! This is brilliant. I can't wait to make some of these for our Valentine's Vignette at home. :D Seriously cute!
You can find Heidi at her website, blog, Etsy and her new book is out and I can vouch that it is the cutest thing and insanely inspiring. Cooper and I have made one craft from it so far and he LOVED it!
Don't forget, my Feathers Digital Kit is on sale today for a dollar! The sale ends midnight, don't miss it! : ) See cute projects using these feathers here.
