Valentines craft idea to make with kids or an adult get together
So a few days ago I seen this at the store and the Carrington said he wanted one. I told him we would make our own. So we got everything we needed and made it. It was very easy to make, the kids enjoyed helping, and this would make a great Valentine's gift for a teacher bus driver grandparent friend or just to hang on your own door like we need. I want to share how to make your own in case you would like to make one yourself and you can put whatever you want as the saying. Maybe your last name, teachers name, whatever you would like.
What You Will Need
*All you need is wood hearts for each letter of the word you want
*the color paints you want, we used red, white, and pink
*red ribbon or the color ribbon of your choice
*staple gun and staples *hot glue gun
*letter stencils or you could use those peel on letters to make it a little bit easier to make it a little bit easier
*glitter if you paint your letters on
*Painters tape
*paint stamps
You will paint each heart the color of your choice we painted ours red. Once dry you can decorate the hearts using paint stamps, free style, or just keep them a plain color. Once the decorating is done and dry you can use the stencils to paint on the letters in white or the color of your choice and put glitter on the wet paint or you can use the peel on letters and put glitter around them if you would like. Once all the hearts are complete you will assemble them you will put them in the order you need them spacing them about an inch part. Once all letters are in order and spaced flip them over and run the ribbon down the back putting at least 2 staples over the ribbon on each heart. Make sure to leave a few extra inches at the top for your loop to hang. You can then place a bow at the top using a hot glue gun.
If you do make one or 10 please take a picture and tag me so I can see what you made. You can tag me on instagram or Twitter @jays_ballgirl or Facebook Amanda Ball and use hash tag #amandasmonkeys This are also Great to make for an in school activity.

ReplyDeleteOnce everything is painted its very easy to get together. The painting parts are the tedious parts but if you have younger kids they love to paint so they will enjoy every minute of it lol
