- Construction paper

Step 1 – Make the Hearts:
Cut heart shapes out of your construction paper (vary the colors and sizes) and fold them in half. These will be the flowers.
Step 2 – Glue & Draw:
Glue your heart-shaped flowers onto the front of your card. Use your green marker to draw the flower stems so they come together in a bouquet.
Step 3 – Finishing Touches:
Tie and glue down your red ribbon, and use your supplies to create butterflies or other decorative elements. Let everything sit and dry, and then write a special note inside!
