Total Time 30 minutes
Difficulty Easy

Materials

  • Conversation heart candy
  • Pink acrylic paint
  • Craft Bond glue
  • Pink baker's twine (or string/ribbon)
  • Photo of child
  • 2.5" circle punch or scissors
  • Scrap piece of thin cardboard (like from a cereal box or toy box)
  • Paintbrush
  • White cardstock
  • Heart template

Instructions

  1. Download the free printable heart template and print it out. Cut it from the paper and trace it onto a piece of scrap cardboard.
  2. Paint the cardboard surface in 1-2 thin coats of paint. Let the paint dry completely before you move on to the next step.
  3. Cut a piece of baker's twine and loop it around to form a small hole. Use tape or glue (we prefer tape) to secure it to the back of the Valentine wreath.
  4. Grab the picture of your child and cut out their face. We used a 2.5" circle punch to make it look really nice and neat, but you can also use scissors if you don't have a punch.
  5. Glue the picture to the middle of the cardboard heart.
  6. Next, take all your conversation heart candies and glue them around the heart. We tried to evenly space them, but with little kids doing it, you'll probably end up with candies everywhere.
  7. Let dry then hang up somewhere to display!
