Valentines Day Cards: Show 'em Where to Shove 'em

Hmph. Valentines day is here again. Time to go into deep depression. I know, lets celebrate loneliness together. Schools and offices share cards, "You are a great friend", "Super Teacher!!!", and "Be Mine". You can shove those cards right up my... um, well, you know.

Basically, it's a valentine holder (some schools do this on valentines day), where you put the cards inside the butt.

All you need for this Valentine's day card holder is some appropriately colored paper, I used yellow for flesh, blue for the shirt, green for the pants, and black for the shoes. You will also want a pair of scissors and some glue (stick or elmers).

Sketch out a butt shape with legs and torso on yellow paper. It doesn't have to be perfect.

After cutting one butt-shape out, put it back on some more yellow paper and make a second one.

Glue them together, one on top of the other, but slide one of the butt pieces down about half a centimeter. Only glue the torso and legs, DO NOT GLUE THE BUTT!!!!

Using the color of your choice, trace the legs of your person, and cut out the result. This will be your pants.

Trace the torso of the person onto a color of your choice. Add sleeves to the trace, then cut out the result. This is your shirt.

Make an oval on some paper that look like appropriately sized for a shoe. Cut it out. This will be one shoe. Trace it a second time for a second shoe.

Cut out a reasonably sized head for your body. I used a cup to trace around.

Make two small circles for the hands.

Glue the pants, shirt, shoes, head, and hands on the body.

Add some eyes, a line in the pants, shoelaces, a mouth, hair (if you want it).

Add your name and your project is complete.

I would like to thank Ross for coming up with the project (I saw his and thought, Valentine's day contest!!!)
