Heart Lion Craft

Roar! Love like a lion this Valentine’s Day with our Heart Lion Craft! A perfect paper craft for the day of love as it’s made of hearts. Plus, for the little ones, it’s a great scissor practice craft, too.

We’ve made a number of really simple heart-y paper crafts this Valentine’s Day. Our Tweetheart Birds Valentine Craft, Stuck on You Handprint Cactus Cards, and this Origami Heart Bouquet Card just to name a few of our fun paper heart crafts. If you’re looking for another lion craft, we have that covered, too, with this Love Lacing Lion Craft.

For our Heart Lion Craft you will need cardstock in yellow, orange, red, and brown. As well, you will also need medium googly eyes, a white marker, scissors, and a glue stick.

Heart Lion Craft

Supplies needed:

Cardstock – yellow, orange, red, and brown
Googly eyes, medium
White marker
Scissors
Glue stick

First, begin by cutting a large circle out of the yellow paper.

The circle should be as big as you can get from a full sheet of yellow cardstock.

From this, make about 2” slits all around the circle.

Then, bend and curl those slits up at random.

Now cut a large heart out of the orange paper. It should fit in the center of the yellow circle, with plenty left over around the edges.

Cut a smaller heart out of the red paper for the nose.

Glue the nose to the larger heart according to the image above.

You will also need to cut two circles from the orange cardstock. And cut 2 smaller circles from the brown cardstock to fit inside the orange circles.

Glue the circles to both sides of the heart. You will also need to cut a larger circle from the brown cardstock and glue that behind the heart. Again, see image.
