Today’s Teach me Tuesday is for the kids but adults can have making these too. With Valentine’s Day only a couple weeks away, I wanted to do a cute craft that kids could make and give as a gift or use to decorate their room. Plus, after the baby shower I have a TON of tissue paper because I just can’t throw it away so I am recycling it.
Now depending on the age(s) of the child(ren) making this craft will determine how much help they will need from an adult. An adult will need to cut a heart shape from cardboard which I used an exacto knife to do. For younger kids, an adult will need to cut the tissue paper into small squares.
Supplies:
Heart shaped cardboard cutout, tissue paper squares 2″x2″s, Elmer’s liquid glue, paint brush and string or yarn.
Directions:
Cut the heart out of the cardboard and put a hole at the top to put the string through later.
Cut the tissue paper into 2″x 2″ squares.
With the pain brush put a little bit of glue at a time on the heart so it doesn’t dry to fast.
Take the tissue square and squish it to create the texture and put it on the glue.
Keep doing these 2 steps until the entire heart is filled but make sure you don’t cover the hole at the top.
Once dry, thread the string through the hole and tie into a loop.
Now the heart is ready to be a gift or decoration.
This is a great way to let kids get creative with colors and make a handmade item.
This is such an adorable craft 💖
I like crafting with my kids. It’s neat to see how each child sees what we are making and makes it a little different. This is a great project to show some love.
So cute and what a great idea! Can’t wait to try with my kiddos!
