My favorite part about making these printable cards is that you only need a few simple supplies to make your own DIY valentine gifts at home for your kids to pass out to their friends! Here’s what you’ll need to make valentines for bracelets:

  • Printable cards: Start by downloading my free printable Slinky valentines. Keep scrolling to see how to download and print your cards at home.
  • Cardstock: When you’re printing your own valentine cards at home, cardstock is your best bet. The heavier the better — especially since you’ll be attaching a spring to the cards. I suggest using at least 65 pound paper when printing your cards at home.
  • Mini Slinkies: I grabbed these neon springs from Wal-Mart in the part section. But you can also get mini slinkies from Amazon to add to your cards! Scroll to the bottom of the post to see some cute ideas for making your own valentine gifts!
  • Scissors and glue: To put this easy craft together, you’ll also need a pair of sharp scissors to cut out the cards. Then, use glue to secure the top of the cards together to hold the Slinky in place.

To print your valentine cards, open the document with your PDF reader and print it on heavy cardstock. Then, cut each card out around the outer border. After that, you kid can sign their name on the back of each card.

Once you have all your cards cut out and ready to go, you can start attaching your Slinkies. First, carefully bend the bottom of the card so that it will fit through the center of the Slinky. Then, thread the Slinky onto the center of the card.
