Bear Hug Card Step by Step Instructions
Begin by printing the bear hug template. Cut out the pieces.
Fold a sheet of the lighter brown cardstock in half. Place the top of the main head oval right at the fold, trace, and cut out.
You should now have a card.
Cut the ears out of the same brown cardstock. The round muzzle piece is cut from the darker brown cardstock.
Now, cut two long strips from the lighter brown cardstock, each about 2” wide.
Round the corners of one end and use the black sharpie to draw toe lines.
Glue the two strips together on the straight ends.
Glue to the bottom of the back of the card.
Cut or use the heart paper punch to make 3 hearts from the black cardstock.
Next, glue 2 of the hearts in the center of the ears.
And 1 of the hearts on the muzzle. Also, use the black sharpie to draw a mouth.
Glue the ears in place on the inside of the front of the card.
Glue the muzzle in place, as well. Adhere googly eyes.
Finally, make a slit about halfway DOWN on one of the arms, past the lines. And make a slit on the opposite arm about halfway UP.
Bring the two arms together and slide together at the slits.
Write your Valentine’s Day message on the inside of the card. And gently fold the arms down for a hug effect.
