Bulletin Green Tip #4: Create recycled Valentine's Day cards Part 2

Here are some more ideas and information to add to Bulletin Green Tip #4: Create recycled Valentine's Day cards.

Patricia, one of our club's co-presidents has some additional card ideas:

"I just folded a piece of scratch paper in half then glued it together--really simple. I chose to use music notes for the background (because my dad had extra music that he was just going to toss out), but you can use just about anything--a catchy magazine pictures, stickers, postcards, etc. Use the old school newspapers to cut out words from. On the most recent issue, the page with the review of "Lovely Bones" says "hope" once and "love" twice."



For this Friday's meeting, please bring some reused materials for making valentines.

This can include:
- scratch paper
- construction paper
- scissors
- glue/tape
- magazines
- newspapers
- stickers you have around your house (don't buy new ones since we're trying to reuse)
- old movie tickets, receipts, or anything you think might be interesting to reuse as a valentine
- markers, colored pencils, stencils
- postcards
- old binder paper that has writing on one side
- old greetings cards...sometimes you can rip off the front cover and use the back of the front cover to write
- used tissue paper, wrapping paper, ribbons
- tattered and unreadable books
- old photographs
- old notebook covers
- drawings you or your siblings or family have made

See Part 1 of this tip for more ideas.
