How to make them:

Clear drying craft glue works best for this project. You may want to use a pencil to lightly draw out your design, before applying the glue. Cover the entire surface of your design ( in this case a heart shape) with glue. Sprinkle Fruity Pebbles cereal over the top. Gently push down on the cereal with the palm of your hands. Shake off any excess cereal onto a paper towel. Allow to dry completely.

Don’t you just love how colorful these are? Obviously, since you are using cereal you aren’t going to keep these cards around too long. The fun is in making them. You could optionally cover the cereal with a craft spray sealant to keep them a little longer.
