MAKING VALENTINE’S DAY CARDS WITH RECYCLED MATERIALS

Go 3-D

By Kristi Palma, Boston.com staff

To make a 3-D Valentine’s Day card, just fold a piece of paper and cut two side-by-side slits. Pop the little tab you created forward and fold the card down over it. You have now created a little area that, as Whitted says, “pops.” Glue words or pictures to the tab so they jump off the card. Then decorate around the 3-D area, like Whitted did with the hearts she cut out of old artwork and pasted along the top.
