You might have noticed that Llamas are everywhere right now – pillows, wrapping paper, plushies and Valentines! We turned a plain white card box into a darling paper llama that the kids can use for their Valentines Day party at school! Use the free printable template for the pattern. All you need is some colored card stock paper, scissors and a glue stick. We even tied a little yarn around the llamas neck to add a little something special. This card box looks so cute with the Llama Valentines! Be sure to download the Free Printable Template here!
