Valentines Day Hidden Message Craft

Valentines Day Hidden Message Craft

CRAFT MATERIALS:
	Scissors
	Construction paper or card stock in 2 colors
	Tape or tacky glue
	Marker
Time needed: About 1 to 2 Hours

1. 1 Cut an 8-inch square from one color of paper, then cut two 2- by 8-inch strips and two 1 3/4-inch hearts from the other color. Or use our template.
2. Fold the 8-inch square in fourths, accordion style, then make 3 evenly spaced cuts along the center fold.
3. Unfold the square and weave the two strips through the cuts as shown.
4. Tape or glue the hearts to the sides of the card for tabs and write "Pull" on each. (If you're using glue, allow it to dry.)
5. Refold the card, then open it like a book at the center. Write the first part of your message across the card.
6. Pull the tabs to open the card completely and write the second half of your message.
7. Refold the card so only the first part of the message shows before presenting it.
