How to Make a Valentine's Day Heart

Valentines Day is right around the corner. As I began thinking about this I remembered as a kid making homemade valentines and valentine holders. Cutting a perfect heart for your valentine can be tough for some of us. But I'll give you some tips for a starting point so you can make your loved one a homemade Valentines Day Heart too.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Heavy Paper
• Internet access
• Scissors
• Glue
• Glitter
• Ribbon
• Lace
• Hole Punch

1. 

   Start by going to one of the sites I given you and printing your heart pattern for your Valentine. Or if you have Print Artist like I do you can print one from there.

2. 

   If you are very good, you can do it like we did as a kid. You take a piece of paper, fold it in half, draw 1/2 of the heart on it and then cut it out. Either way you go you have to start somewhere.

3. 

   After you've printed your Valentines Day Heart figure out how you want to make it special. You can use glitter and ribbon to make a real special one.

4. It's your valentine for Your Valentine. This is an inexpensive way to make a Valentine's Day Heart. Be creative you have plenty of time.

Tips & Warnings

• If you punch your holes after you glue your glitter on you may have to give it a second coat.
