DIY Valentines with recycled or reused paper!

Need to have Valentine's Day cards for your kid's class? Instead of buying the el-cheapo stuff that everyone else has, try a little DIY Valentines, for no more money! Making your own cards allows you to choose the type of materials utilized.

Magazines have great pages that can be used to cut out little hearts that your kids (of any age) can glue onto a square of recycled cardstock. An ad with a cute dress, or a plain background, or even a NASCAR photo have lots of colors that make cute hearts...

Not a DIY kind of person? Check out Three Wheel Designs. They have designs that you can buy online for $3 - which buys you a PDF file with a super-cute Valentine's Day message that you can print out on your own paper (preferably post-consumer content recycled paper)! All you have to do it print out and cut! You can print out as many as you want for that $3!
