Making these watercolor Valentine bookmarks with a sticker resist technique was so fun! My daughter absolutely loved it and wanted to make more.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. First, you want to tape down your watercolor paper to a wooden board. This helps to keep the paper from buckling when it’s wet and makes it easier for kids to paint on.

[{"selector":"#anim-07db61f1-9ce0-48dc-a48c-7e3b3c191aab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecfdc7e0-4d75-4a05-abac-d4960a480b21","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 155.35263%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-381430e6-d5c4-414e-bb52-b69ffbf1319c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-238c1caf-ae6f-406c-b3c2-60090ea29a9d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.26667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4c1cadb-e9e4-4479-8e20-2b73c2740d52","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a015ca56-ea10-425d-818c-125620aaffde","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

2. Next, measure out your bookmarks with a pencil. One watercolor sheet of 11 x 15 inches made 10 Valentine bookmarks.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d96cc25-f13d-4262-b191-e7b662831e11","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3c31002-d47f-45a0-a6d1-3abe797f0048","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 215.26780%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3126c1df-fed8-4d70-971e-730ecf78cd61","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6541e52e-2006-4da4-ba95-8af0fa69ed4d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(93.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9587628b-df1b-4d73-9f8c-f6df3e5c3d5e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-626fcda8-5964-4a77-abd9-94cd9de854ac","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

3. Have your kids place the heart stickers on their bookmarks, my daughter wanted to do 4 stickers per bookmark, no more, no less. I think it would also look nice to use different sizes of heart stickers if you have them.

[{"selector":"#anim-25a42306-1397-48e2-8950-cf304b3816ca","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e196b423-a134-40e3-beff-de137bbfdc61","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 161.13720%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-52729558-ad9a-4b0b-80e9-b5b99e12a0b6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1b6290d7-11ea-47bd-aa01-660c5d6e53f6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.73333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c913994-2405-4336-8869-7fc1e24ee32f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a1666d25-5f0d-4bf2-9e68-6b71389d19f9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

4. Once everything is measured out and the stickers are placed, mix 3-4 colors of watercolors on your paint palette. It’s useful to have a scrap piece of paper to test out the colors first.

[{"selector":"#anim-1b2ae20c-76f5-499a-98aa-8f8f420e5fb9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58ccb949-bc9c-407a-abc9-5418f8167241","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a2119a0b-37dc-4aa6-a376-05c7f98a3064","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9626b47-6aa4-4dad-89d7-432b3767b35c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 160.19822%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1a32e338-7c9d-4ff9-86e1-dc944879cbe8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fefba202-9909-4c4e-95f3-14bf4af56820","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(98.66667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more
