PRINTABLE HANGING SLOTH LOLLIPOP VALENTINE
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SLOTH VALENTINES
These are easy and inexpensive DIY valentine cards, which is always a win in my book. I do recommend using heavier-weight paper, rather than regular copy paper so that the cards are sturdy enough to hold the suckers.

HOW TO MAKE THE VALENTINES
Each printed sheet will make six valentines. Use a paper trimmer or scissors to separate the cards.
Use a pair of scissors or a craft knife to cut four slits into the card near the sloth’s hands. Check out the diagram above to see where the slits should be cut.
I also tried using a hole punch to create circular openings instead of slits (see the blue sloth card below). While it made it easier to thread the lollipop stick through the card, I didn’t like having big visible holes in the final card.
Thread the stick of the lollipop through the slits so that it looks like the sloth is hanging from the lollipop.
Finally, secure the stick to the back of the card with a piece of tape. Any tape will work, but I obviously had to use my adorable sloth washi tape. You can leave the valentines as they are or you can add a special message to the back of each card. These would make sweet invitations to a sloth birthday party too!

Hello,
I have the same problem with downloading. The site requires a password from me that I never received.

These are super cute, and my six year old is currently using a brown sharpie to colour the stems of green lollipops (he was really committed to making the lollipops look like branches, haha).
I signed up for the free membership and got the welcome email, but how do I access the printable now? The welcome email says in a couple days I’ll receive another email with 12 beginner craft projects – do I need to wait for that email?
Thanks for your help, and the great sloth valentine projects!

Hi Jessica,
Just wanted to let you know that I still hadn’t received the email with the password and link to the freebie gallery (not in my spam either). Are you able to manually send it to me? I would really appreciate it as we’ve already purchased the lollipops for these!
