How to Make Your 5 Minute DIY Dog Valentine

You’ll Need…

• 1 x sheet red or pink cardboard
• 1 x ruler
• 1 x pencil or white marker
• 1 x scissors or paper cutter
• 1 x round Cake tin

To Make…

1. Trace two circles using the cake tin to make the top of the heart.
2. Rule two lines to complete heart shape.
3. Cut out heart using scissors or paper cutter.
4. Cut cross in the centre of the heart shape using paper cutter.
5. Slip safely over your dog’s head. Ensure it causes no discomfort to your dog.

Handy Hints!

* If you don’t have a cake tin, use a vase or similar circular object. Try to get something close to your dog’s head size.
* When cutting out the heart, try to cut around the straight lines to make a more organic heart shape.
* If you don’t have a paper cutter, gently fold the heart to cut the cross in the centre with scissors.

Creative ways to use your DIY dog Valentine

* Use your photo to create a personalised E-card
* Take a pic of your pooch with your phone and send a surprise doggie Valentine text!
* Use your dog valentine as a Maître d’ for your very own Valentine’s Brunch.
