Handy Hints!

* If you don’t have a cake tin, use a vase or similar circular object. Try to get something close to your dog’s head size.
* When cutting out the heart, try to cut around the straight lines to make a more organic heart shape.
* If you don’t have a paper cutter, gently fold the heart to cut the cross in the centre with scissors.

Creative ways to use your DIY dog Valentine

* Use your photo to create a personalised E-card
* Take a pic of your pooch with your phone and send a surprise doggie Valentine text!
