Valentine Craft

This fun heart craft project is perfect for all ages. Kids love ripping and scrunching up the tissue paper.

What you’ll need:

• Pink,white and red (or any color you want your heart) tissue paper, cut into 1” squares
• White craft glue
• Scissors
• Piece of card stock or construction paper
• Pencil with an eraser

How to make it:

1. Cut out a heart shape from the construction paper or card stock.
2. Put white craft glue into the center of the heart, shaped like a heart.
3. Using the eraser end of a pencil, place the eraser into the center of a tissue paper square. Twist the tissue paper square around the eraser and dot it onto the glue. Continue this process until entire heart is covered with tissue paper.

Tips:

• For younger kids who have trouble working the pencil steps, allow them to wad up the tissue paper squares and press them directly onto the glue with their fingers.
• You can design anyway you want.  Kaleigh decided just to do the border of her heart.  There is no perfect way (as you can see by my pictures). Have fun!!
