Materials Needed for Mason Jar Love Bug Mother’s Day Cards
- Our free template of a mason jar
- Yellow acrylic paint or an Ink pad if you prefer not to use paint
- Black marker
- Card stock or a piece of white paper
You can also use Watercolor paints optional for background decoration, if you like to add some watery color to the jar
Step-by-Step Instructions to use the Mason Jar Mother’s Day Lover Bug Printable
- First Thing: Print out the mason jar template on white cardstock. This will give you a sturdy base for your craft.
- Making the Love Bugs: Dip your little one’s fingers in yellow paint to create the love bug’s body. Press it onto the jar’s printable where you’d like your love bug to appear.
- Adding Details: Once the fingerprint has dried, use a black marker to add wings, eyes, and any other details to bring your love bug to life. If you want to add an extra cute factor, glue on some tiny googly eyes. You can also use two red fingerprints to create a little heart, or use a red fingerprint to make a ladybug style love bug if you like.
- For Younger Kids: If using paint seems too messy, an ink pad is a great alternative.
- Turning it into a Card: Fold a piece of card stock in half to create a blank greeting card. Glue the decorated love bug jar template to the front.
- Special Touches: Write a personal message inside the card or even attach a gift card for an extra surprise. Don’t forget to let your arty crafty kids add their own information or doodles to personalize it.
- Perfect Gift: These love bug crafts are not just great for Mother’s Day but also work wonderfully as Valentine’s Day cards, Father’s Day tokens, or even for Grandparent’s Day.
This craft is a fun way for children to participate in gift-giving and to show their love. It’s a cute craft that requires just a little help from an adult, making it a perfect way to spend some quality time together.
