GI Joe Valentines

January 23, 2013 By Jamie Dorobek 17 Comments

Janel from NellieBellie created this fun G.I. Joe Valentine printable for C.R.A.F.T. back in 2013. 

I have a 9 year old boy. Finding Valentine’s he wants to give can be tricky. They are always too gushy, mushy. Or horror of horrors… have HEARTS. I know, gasp! So, each year I search out a new Valentine to make for him. When I saw this list of cute Valentine sayings that Jamie put out, and I scrolled through and found a winner winner, chicken dinner! Cheesy and non-mush! So, I present this years “manly” GI Joe free printable Valentine. No hearts. No mush. Just army guys, camo, and black. It was a winner. Score!

GI Joe Valentine

Here’s what you need to make a GI Joe Valentine

  • Free Valentine printable
  • Camo cardstock
  • Army guys
  • Duct tape (torn into little, baby strips)cute valentine sayings

Use a couple strips of duct tape to tape your guy on to the printable. You want it to look a bit like he is being restrained, kidnapped. Also, give room on the bottom for the guy to stand upright. It looks way cool to have these Valentine’s standing.

Have your little guy sign his name on the very end. My Levi added a broken heart, so the girls wouldn’t think he was being mushy. Always thinking, that one. I think it looks like angel’s wings, and he didn’t like that. Anyway, an easy, cheesy Valentine any little boy will be proud willing to give!

    These are so cute. My 10-year-old would love them!. He loves those little soldiers. Do you think that the schools would have problems with them due to the weapons? They can be so strict about things now a days (with good reason, of course!)

      Emily, good question! I feel like schools would be OK with a GI Joe Valentine. But, maybe you should ask the teacher first, just in case?
