Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wrap a cereal box in white construction paper and use an X-acto knife or box cutter to cut a hole in the top.

  • Print three templates, the head, body and tail. Cut out each one and trace on yellow craft foam.

  • Use craft hole punchers to make the circles for the eyes (these were 1" and 1/2"). If you don't have them, I've sometimes used coins instead (or you can just draw your own circles)
  • Hot glue the pieces together to make the face, then use a black permanent marker to color the tops of the ears.

  • Trace and cut out the body. Use the marker to draw the toes.

  • The tail was a little tricky. At first I was just going to use a single piece of craft foam but it was too "floppy". I cut a second piece of yellow foam, then a slightly smaller piece of cardboard. I hot glued the yellow foam together with the cardboard in the middle. That did the trick!
  • Glue the body to the cardboard box, then the head. The head should lightly overlap the body. Finally, add the hands. That's all there is to it. Your Pikachu valentine box is ready!

Notes

If you don't have craft foam, you can use construction paper instead. You may just need to glue a popsicle stick or wooden skewer to the back of the ears if they're too floppy.
