How to make love hearts
What you need:
- Paper or card (coloured or plain)
- Tissue/crepe paper (tear and scrunch or roll into balls)
- glue (PVA is good)
- glitter
What you do:
- Cut out a paper or card heart shape.
- Cover the whole shape in glue (a runny glue like PVA works best)
- Stick balls of coloured crepe/tissue paper onto the shape
- Sprinkle glitter into any gluey gaps between the paper balls.
This heart is so easy even your tiny ones can do it. If they are able to sit with them for this craft, you can help by spreading the glue onto the shape and pre-preparing a bowl of ready made coloured paper balls. And they can stick away happily!
You can make these hearts in various sizes, depending on the base heart size. Make smaller ones that you can stick to the front of cards. Bigger ones to decorate the walls for an anniversary, valentine’s day or mother’s day. And finally huge ones for large decor in a hall or venue hosting a love themed event.
This craft is also suitable for a group to do together. If you have friends over for Valentine’s day, like we sometimes do, then this is an activity all the children can do together.
