Magnetic Heart Craft

Valentine's Day Gifts

 

 

I must admit I am a fan of the Hobbycraft Stores! This lovely Magnet was only£1.99 add some decoration and it makes a nice little gift on Valentine's Day. It comes as a plain mache magnetic heart ,that you can decorate anyway you like.

 

May and I started with layers of pva and tissue paper ,its messy but it looks good when its dry. One thing my daughter loves is getting messy, never complains!

 Then we decorated it with glitter glue and sticky on stars.Not bad for a cheap magnet ! So if you are looking for Valentine's day crafts check out Hobbycraft for supplies

I am always recycling plastic bottles, I always seem to have lots. May takes one into School every day, she had the habit of being able to break the expensive ones .

The tubs in the photo above are just made from cut down plastic bottles !

Layers of tissue paper and Pva are then put on and decorated. For more ideas check out our Recycling Page!

Homemade Valentine's Day Cards

Easy Make Valentine's Day Card

 

 

Valentine's Day Cards can be simple this one I have used a lot in the past. To make sure the heart fits, I make a simple stencil like the photo below .

 

Then fold a4 card in half and draw round the stencil and cut out. Making sure the edge of the heart is beside the edge of the card.

May enjoys making homemade mosaic tiles and they look good on cards .I always find them, a great chance for kids to practise their scissor skills.
