Love bites!
For Valentine’s Day this year, my oldest son, Elijah decided to make these shark Valentine’s to pass out to all of his favorite people.
They were so much fun to make… and visciously cute!
Here are a list of supplies you will need:
- Glitter scrapbook paper
- Google eyes
- Clothespins
- Scrapbook paper
- Scissors
- Shark template
- Glue sticks & glue gun
- Candy ( the original post used swedish fish, but Elijah wanted sour patch kids… so the shark looked like it was eatting people! *sigh* BOYS!)
First, print out your shark template and cut out. You can find the shark template by clicking here (scroll to the February 2015 issue) It may ask you to add your e-mail to sign-up, but they do have a lot of cute kid crafts… and it’s FREE!!!
Then, I traced the shark silhouette onto the glitter cardstock and cut it out. 
I then cut the shark in half, kinda right down the middle of the mouth and across. I think this helps it to line up on the clothespin better than right down the exact middle.
Next, we glued the shark to the clothespin. This was kinda tricky at first trying to get the top & bottom to line up just right, but just take your time and move the sharks around a bit. We did find that doing the top first, helped make the bottom easier to line up. 
Now, for the shark eye. We used googly eyes, but I did see in the original post that she used a shiny sequin. But, since we did not have sequins … and I was not making a special trip to the store for them, we stuck with googly eyes. I like them though, and think it makes them look kinda silly & less “scary”. 
Last, we clipped in our sour patch kids (aka poor helpless sufers) into the sharks mouth and added a heart. The hearts were just left overs from our Valentine Robot Craft, you can find that craft by clicking HERE!
Ta-da! Our Valentine Shark!
Please share your fiercely cute sharks too!
Kraft ya later!
