Despite Valentine’s Day following on the same date every year, it seems to sneak up on a lot of us parents who are responsible for the classroom gifts. Luckily, if you have a Cricut and some cardstock, you can put these pencil holders together in no time!.
Cupid’s Arrow Pencil Holder Valentine Supplies:
- Cardstock (5 sheet on one sheet)
- Cupid’s Arrow SVG cut file
- Cricut Maker
- Cricut Mat
- Brayer
The great thing about this easy craft as it’s all one piece, so there’s no gluing or folding needed. The cupid’s arrow design is all one piece and even includes holes to hold the pencil itself.
5 pencil holders fit on each 12×12″ sheet. Tip: While Cricut Design Space is a great program, it doesn’t do the best to make the most use of the space on the canvas when you go to cut. Make sure to rearrange the cut outs, including moving to fit 5 to a page before you send to cut.
You can easily slide the pencil through this Cupid’s Arrow design using the slides in the design. Before you do that flip it over and personalize with a pen or marker.
These cupid’s arrow pencil holders look adorable as a collection in no matter what color palette you choose.
Parents! Don’t forget my most favorite photo I take every year when it comes to Valentines! After they fill them all out with their cute little handwriting, have your child lay on the floor and surround them with their Valentine’s. This is such a fun way to capture your child’s hair, clothes AND handwriting style that you can cherish for years to come! See this idea in a reel!
