Signed, “I Love You”
What You’ll Need:
- paper
- pencil
- scissors
- poster board
- ruler
- glue
- marker
- string
Many people who are deaf or hard of hearing use sign language to communicate. The sign language symbol for “I Love You,” which is used in this craft, combines the letters, I, L, and Y together into one symbol.
How to Make It:
-
Trace around one of your hands on a sheet of paper. Cut out the tracing.
-
Cut out a poster-board heart or circle larger than the traced paper hand. Cut out another heart or circle from poster board about an inch larger all around than the first. Glue the smaller heart or circle to the larger one.
-
Glue the hand to the poster board, leaving the ring finger and middle finger unglued.
-
Curl or bend the two unglued fingers forward, and glue or paste them to the palm of the paper hand.
-
Write “I Love You” on the poster board. Attach string to hang up the craft, or give it to someone special as a Valentine’s Day Card.
