Yin Yang Hearts Valentine Card

What better way than with a Yin Yang Hearts Valentine Card to demonstrate how opposites attract!

I found this cute card while perusing Pinterest but could not find the printable pattern anywhere so I created one that you can use with your children. The original card can be purchased through Etsy, but this simple version can be made as a child’s Valentine craft. With the Chinese New Year often falling in the same week as Valentine’s Day, this craft can cover both holidays!

Yin Yang Valentine Hearts
DIY Yin Yang Hearts create a Valentine’s Day Card

The yin and yang (dark-bright) in Ancient Chinese philosophy symbolizes that opposites can be interconnected and often compliment each other for a neutral effect.

To create this card, use the provided printout and cut an additional heart from a coordinating color of paper. So simple! The interlocking hearts form the Yin Yang design. To further decorate the card, I glued coordinating sequins on the outside flap of the hearts.

Card Instructions

  • Two different colors of paper – make sure one of them can be used in your printer
  • Craft glue

  1. Print out the Yin Yang Valentine Card Pattern on colored paper. For this example, I used red printer paper.
  2. Cut out the Valentine card and fold in the the two hearts on the ends of the card.
  3. Trace one of the hearts onto another color of printer paper. I used pink paper for this step.
  4. With a glue stick or diluted glue, paste the single heart over the heart on the front of the card and allow time to dry.
  5. Fold the two hearts in so that they overlap forming a Yin Yang design.
  6. Decorate the outside of the card with two sequins or other decorations.
  7. Write your Valentine greeting inside the card.
