I love how these little monsters came out! It was a long road to get here, but I feel like I finally came up with a craft that works and is darn cute into the bargain. <\/p>\n
So I started by trying to make a card with long arms that could cover up a piece of candy. Turns out, if the arms are large enough to cover candy, they’re too big to fit on a regular sheet of paper. I tried a bunch of different designs, and finally gave up on the candy, although I might give it another shot in the future. Instead, I went with little pictures, and that fixed everything. <\/p>\n
All these monsters take is a piece of cardstock, the printed template<\/a>, a small picture, and a little coloring.<\/p>\n You can get the template by clicking on the picture below or the link above.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You can get two monsters per piece of cardstock – and definitely use cardstock. Computer paper is far too flimsy. Once your monsters are printed, go ahead and color them, then glue a small picture on the belly. I cut mine into a circle because I thought it looked cute. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The last part is the arms. They get put on with brads so that they can swing in and out, then you simply position them to cover the picture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And that’s it! Closed:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Open:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These would be perfect for Mothers or Fathers day, or for giving to grandmas and grandpas. Super cute, right?<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Mothers Day Flower Magnets<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\nLooking for more easy gifts? Check these out!<\/h2>\n
