Crafts for Valentine's Day!


With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I must admit I haven't done the first craft with my kids. So today I was looking through one of my favorite magazines,Family Fun, and decided to go online for more ideas.

I found one craft that reminded me of my childhood and just wanted to share!!





Your child can assemble this cute card carrier in a heartbeat using common household and craft materials.

CRAFT MATERIALS:
2 paper plates
Stapler
Scissors
Hole punch
Glue
Colored paper
Ribbon

Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Fold 2 paper plates in half, then tuck one inside the other to form a heart. Staple them together.

2. Round the top edges with scissors. Punch matching holes in the center front and back of the pocket. Glue on colored paper hearts.

3. To finish, add a strap by threading a length of ribbon through the holes and securing the ends with a knot on the inside or outside of the pocket.
