Star Wars Valentines: DIY Light Saber Printable Valentine Cards
Materials needed for these glow stick lightsaber Valentines cards
- white card stock paper
- Print this Star Wars Valentine card PDF
- color printer
- 8″ bracelet glow sticks (one per Valentine, possibly extras for errors)
- scissors
- clear tape
1. First, you’ll need to print out the Star Wars Valentines printable PDF
It is a simple one-page color document with 4 Valentine’s on it, with different color lightsabers. So, if you need 20 Valentine’s, you’ll print out 5 sheets. If you need 27 Valentine’s, you’ll print out 7 sheets. Got it? GOOD. Click here to print out the Star Wars Valentines PDF.
2. Cut out each of the Star Wars Valentine’s day cards
These Star Wars valentines are about 4 inches wide, or the width of my iPhone 6. I chose to use 4 colors of glow sticks to match the ones on the cards. You don’t have to do this, but it looks awesome with all of the colors: pink, blue, green, and yellow!
3. Sign the back of the card & cut holes for glowsticks
If you’d like, have your child write “from Johnny” or whatever you want on the back to show classmates who the Valentine is from. At this point, AN ADULT should cut slits with scissors or an Exacto knife right on both sides of the heart. This is where you’ll insert the glow sticks. Make sure your slits are big enough to fit the size of each stick.
4. Add lightsaber glowsticks to Star Wars cards
Carefully slide the glow stick connectors to the middle of the stick, insert the glow stick into the top of the Valentine card on one end and back up through the bottom on the other side. The glow stick connector should be in the very middle of the glow stick, on the back of the card. Tape right in the middle to secure.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CRACK THE GLOW STICKS! I’m sure the kids would love to do that on their own when they’re ready. I cracked the glow sticks in my photos for presentation 🙂 You can choose to pre-crack the glow sticks if you want, maybe if you’re making these very close to party time. If you crack them too soon, they’ll die out. he, how will they battle with their lightsaber glow stick Valentines?
May the FORCE be with you this Valentine’s Day!
That’s pretty much it! Aren’t these Star Wars printable Valentines just the cutest?! My kids were thrilled and they both asked me to make enough Star Wars Valentines for their classrooms. At about 25¢, that’s really no problem!
