Instructions

It’s a fairly simple tutorial, so I’m going to put the step by step instructions in the comment field for each photo.

Obviously you can change the slogan, but as it’s supposed to be a jigsaw puzzle I chose ‘We are a perfect fit!’

All the materials you’ll need

Fold the piece of paper in half and draw half a heart shape as shown.

Cut out the heart shape (with the paper folded over so you have a perfect heart shape)

Using your pencil, draw around the heart onto the felt.

Draw a jigsaw shape into the heart. I went straight down the middle, but you can do it in any shape and on any angle you like.

Cut the heart into two pieces according to your jigsaw line.

Draw around the jigsaw line, using one side of the paper template (it doesn’t matter which you use).

The trickiest bit is to cut out the heart and cut the jigsaw line into the shape keeping both sides looking perfect… small cuts and take it slowly is the best advice.

Your cut out heart should look like this when placed back together.

Using your paper heart, work out where to draw your lines on the card (you may need more or less lines, depending on what you want to say)

Write your message in pencil first, to make sure it fits on ok.

Go over the pencil writing with your red pen.

Then stick your heart onto either side of the card, so when it’s closed, the heart fits together.

If you don’t want to use a card like the one above with two doors, you can use a standard folded piece of card and either stick the heart pieces together, or just apart to make the jigsaw shape more obvious.

When the red pen is dry, rub out the pencil marks and you’re done 🙂

I hope you all have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
