DIY: Glue Valentine Cards

January 14 by Sarah Titus

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my full disclosure for more info.

My daughter is the creative one in the family. She’s always experimenting and making cool crafts. Today, she’s making Glue Valentine Cards. They are super simple to make and you only need 2 ingredients…glue and some sort of coloring.

Make any shape you want, these glue valentine cards are perfect for Valentine's Day. You can cut them, write on them, put glitter on them, be creative!

We used a 3D Fabric Paint we got at a craft store and had on hand, but you can use any type of coloring you want…

  • Food Coloring
  • Melted Crayons
  • Paints

If you’re making a heart, trace the outline of a heart and then fill it in with the glue. You can be as careful as you’d like, but you CAN cut these with scissors after they are dry to perfect them, so if you mess up, no problem!

Likewise, you could make them any shape you want. Use cookie cutters to shape them or use a pattern or stencil to cut them to your desired shape after they are dry!

You want to put them on some sort of thick plastic, so they are easy to peel off after they have dried. We used a lid to a Sterilite storage tote we had on hand (you can get them just about anywhere for $4-$8 each), but we’ve also used the bottom of baby wipes containers as well. Anything you have that’s a thick plastic and can bend a little bit will work well.

Here’s how they look when you’re done. They take about 24 hours to dry.

This is how they look when they are dry. I used a little flat staple remover to dig at the tip to get them off. Once you get a tiny corner peeled up, they come off super simple.

After they are dry, you can write on them! You could write the person’s name of who they are going to, you could write “I’m stuck on you.” Be creative and make it fun and personalized. You could also decorate them further with glitter before they dry or decorate them with puff paint after they are dried to make them pop. The sky is the limit!

Make any shape you want, these glue valentine cards are perfect for Valentine's Day. You can cut them, write on them, put glitter on them, be creative!

    This looks like the kind of thing we’d love. Question — after you peel them off and write on them, if you try to transport them after they dry will they stick together?

      Great question! No, they don’t stick together after they dry at all. 🙂 Maybe if you stack them and keep them in a hot car they might melt and stick together, so just be aware of that, but otherwise, no. 🙂

    My daughter and I did something similar to this last year. We made them all different sizes and then punched a small hole in each one and strung them to make mobiles.

      That’s a cute idea too…make some sort of garland to decorate! 🙂

    What a inventive craft! I just need to pick up some fabric paint. We have a million storage totes already in the basement we could use.

      It can really be any type of paint you’d like, any coloring would work well you have on hand I’m sure. 🙂

    These are so cute. My daughter and I will make them this weekend. Thanks for the idea. I wonder if you could print out a sheet of black hearts to place underneath your lid to use as a traceable for the valentines?

      Glad you like them. I don’t think the shapes matter too much because once they are dry, you can just cut them if you need to. We didn’t cut ours in the picture, but I did test it with a couple. 🙂 You could make like an apple and say, “You’re the apple of my eye.” Anything creative and fun. 🙂

Hi, I'm Sarah

The judge in my divorce hearing told me to get a job outside the home "OR ELSE". I said, "NO! I won't leave my kids." 5 years later, I make $2 million dollars/year from HOME, on autopilot. I can teach you to do the same thing!
