Perfect for the singer/songwriter in your life!

Come on boys, we all know that you absolutely love your band mates - why else would you spend so much time with them? And like all loved ones, you’re just bursting to say “I love you”.

But if you’re in a band, it’s important to find a way of saying those magic words without actually saying them. We wouldn’t wish years of band-ridicule on anyone, plus saying “I love you” to other men can seriously damage your reputation with all that poon out there.

This practical valentine befits your favorite bookworm - the songwriter in your life. And if that person also happens to be the singer in your band, you know they need oodles of noodles of poodles of love!

To make this diminutive page keeper, start by creating a template of a heart, about 5cm wide. Cut out with a utility knife, and trace onto heavy card stock.

Copy it at about 80 percent, cut out, and trace onto decorative paper, such as wrapping or origami paper (this is where all those years of saving wrapping paper comes in handy!).

Cut out both hearts, and use a glue stick to secure smaller patterned heart to center of the larger one; let dry.

Finally, trace the bottom half of the inner heart with a utility knife, cutting through card stock beneath.

Then your valentine can slip pages between the hearts and you’re sure to get on-stage glances that will make your heart go pitter pat.
