Supplies Needed
You only need a handful of supplies to make this craft. We’ve made it simple by providing a free printable template, but you can also cut out your own shapes by hand if you prefer.
- Cardstock – Yellow, Black, Red and WhiteÂ
- Black marker or sharpie
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Photo – you want a photo where nothing is in front of the face (like hair or hands) and big enough to fit on top of the bee body. You can print on cardstock or photo paper if needed.
- Free Printable Template – you can get the template emailed to you below
What kind of glue should I use? Since this is all paper, we like to use glue sticks. But white or school glue will work well too.

How To Make the Valentine Paper Bee
1. First print off the template or draw your own shapes.
- Trace around the large heart on white cardstock for the wings.
- Trace around the large circle on yellow cardstock for the bee body.

- Trace around red cardstock for the small and medium hearts.
2. Glue the large black paper strips to the yellow body.
You can trim around the edges to fit the strips to size after gluing.
3. Glue 2 small hearts to the small antenna black paper strips.
Then glue these to the back of the photo.
Glue the photo to the top of the body.
