How To Make A Cat Valentine
1 – First, print the free cat craft template onto white paper or cardstock. (Get yours at the bottom of this page.)
2 – Then, trace the cat’s head and body onto coloured paper of your choice. Trace the small heart nose nose and inner ears onto pink, red or purple glitter paper.
3 – Next, glue the cat’s body and head onto a sheet of blue paper and draw on some toes. (Don’t glue the tail, and make sure you leave enough space under the cat’s feet to add some grass.)
4 – Now glue on the eyes and inner ears.
5 – To make the cat’s whiskers, cut a pipe cleaner into three and twist them together in the middle.
6 – Glue on the cat’s whiskers and nose and then draw a smile. (If you don’t have pipe cleaners, you could draw the whiskers on instead.)
7 – To make the grass, cut a strip of green paper with one wavy edge. Then snip into it with herb scissors to make blades of grass. (You can use ordinary scissors of course, but it will take a little longer.)
8 – If you want to decorate your cat valentine craft with a 3D heart, trace and cut the big heart out of pink, red or purple glitter paper, 3 times.
9 – Fold the glittery hearts in half from top to bottom.
10 – Glue the halves of the hearts together.
11 – Finish off your cute Valentine cat craft by gluing the heart onto the side of your kitty.
We think these kitties are adorable. They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day or any time you just fancy a bit of cuteness!
