By far my most "pinned" project on Pinterest is the Mustache Valentine card I made last year for my son. It makes my heart happy every time I see his little mustached face pop up as I'm browsing Pinterest!
I've started receiving quite a few emails asking how I made them, or which fonts I used, etc., so I thought I'd save us both some time and share a step by step tutorial on how I made these, using Picnik.com. {By the way, those emails TOTALLY make my day!}
But since picnik is no longer around, I've taken down the tutorial.
I printed the photos at a local pharmacy in 4x6.
I attached sticky backed felt mustaches using a scrapbooking glue dot, so the kids could pull the mustache off and wear them {leave the backing on when you attach them to the photo}
For the mustaches I created a template and I just ran the felt through my printer and printed the template on the paper backing, then cut them out with scissors.
If you do make some Mustache Valentine's I would LOVE to see them! Send me a link or a email a picture, I'd love to share them here on The Craft Monkey!

Thank you so much for sharing such a sweet Valentine and for your tutorial! =)
These are so cute! Thanks for the extra tips on how to create them. I'm planning to make some for my 4 year old son's cards this year.

Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial! I can't wait to make these for my little monkey!
LOVE your blog!
I love this idea, found you via Pinterest. I use Picnik quite a bit and my suggestion for anyone interested, that might be a teensy easier than the step you put, is to just go to the collage section on Picnik. That way you can do a dual photo collage & upload just the one side with an image & then choose whatever color you want for the background & add a frame if you desire. Just an idea! Thanks for sharing & I love that you said to just put the felt in the printer. So cute!
I am so bummed that picnik is shutting down! I LOVE it! And these are so cute!
Thanks for the tutorial. We love this idea so much and shared it on Modern Hostess for our readers.
