Materials Needed: * Tissue Paper * Glue * Paint Brush * Construction Paper Instructions: Cut a variety of heart shapes out of tissue paper. In a small container, mix one part glue with one part water. Use a paint blush and spread glue on a piece of white paper. Arrange the tissue paper hearts on the glue as desired. Make the hearts overlap each other! Add the glue and hearts to a small section of the white paper at a time. Once your hearts are places on the glue, add more glue as needed so the hearts are completely covered. When done, set aside and let the glue dry. When the glue is drydry, cut the white paper around the hearts. Leave about 1/4 inch of white showing around the edges. Mount your picture on black, pink, or purple paper. Paper Plate Heart Wreath Grown ups know a million magical things that we don't always consider so magical once we're grown ups. One of these things is how to cut lovely little hearts out of construction paper. This is the perfect project for sharing that skill with your kids. Materials: construction paper (various colors) bullet scissors bullet glue bullet crayons bullet a paper plate Instructions: bullet Cut the center out of the paper plate to leave a round "donut" shape. This will form the base of the wreath. (This may require adult assistance. bullet Fold a piece of construction paper in half or in 1/4s (for young crafters, folding in half is challenging enough -- more experienced crafters can fold 3 or 4 times to make hearts in "bulk") bullet Cut a half heart shape out of the construction paper along the folded edge. bullet Unfold your cut out shape and you'll have a perfect little heart. bullet Repeat this process many times -- as you get better, you can make 2 or three hearts at once simply by folding your paper more times. bullet Glue your construction paper hearts to completely cover your paper plate "donut" bullet You can tie a bow and paste it on to decorate further. bullet You can put a piece of yarn on the back to hang it. |
