Pressed for time?
We always recommend taking instruction from an expert when starting a new craft but if you don’t have time to slot in a workshop before Valentine’s here are a couple of quick options:
You could make a little origami heart from watching this simple YouTube video and pop it on the front of a blank card, just adding your message.
Or you could take up a free online card making tutorial from one of our providers, who could help you come up with a unique card with a little extra finesse instead.
