Materials
Scissors
Lightweight colored paper for the body and the flame (we used a 3 1/4-inch pink square for the body and a 3-inch orange square for the flame)
Double-stick tape
A roll of round candies (we used Life Savers candy)
A foil-wrapped Hershey's Kiss
Marker
Instructions
For the body, cut the paper to fit around the roll of candy, including a bit of overlap. Tape the paper to the roll.
Cut the tail flames and include a 1/4-inch tab, as shown below. Snip the tab in half along the solid line, fold the 2 flaps in opposite directions, and tape the flame to one end of the candy roll.
Tape a wrapped chocolate kiss to the other end.
Use a marker to write your message on the rocket or the flames.
Tips: Write the recipient's name on the flames shooting out the back.
Valentine's Mail Box
Materials Needed:
Empty laundry detergent box
White contact paper
Stencils
Valentine cut-outs
Velcro dots
Hot glue gun
Instructions:
Apply white contact paper onto the box. Add heart decorations by using hot glue. Use stencils if desired. Add velcro dot under the heart for box closure.
Valentine Tic Tac Toe
Supplies:
* poster board - white, red, or pink
* black marker
* red & pink felt, 3 squares each
* dry beans - any kind or size
* sewing machine or hot glue gun
Step 1:
Fold your poster board in half. Then cut a large heart out. Get it as big as you can. Then open it up and draw in your lines. You'll need two vertical and two horizontal lines. Use a pencil to make the lines first, then trace over it with a black marker. I used the extra piece of poster board left over to make nice straight lines.
Use heart paper or flat felt hearts, but bean bags are much more fun to play with.) You should be able to get 4 flat felt hearts out of each felt square.
Then place two together and sew or hot glue around, Hot Glued Hearts tutorial. I like to use a zig zag stitch when sewing, making it pretty or you could use pinking shears for a pretty edge as well. Make sure to leave at least an inch of space to fill in with the dry beans.
Now fill your bags about half way full with beans. You want to be able to close that small hole and sew or glue it together, and if there are too many beans, it will be hard to seal it shut.
Valentine Door Decoration
What you'll need:
1-2 pieces of red craft foam
1 piece of white craft foam
1 piece of pink craft foam
White ribbon
3 jingle bells
Hole punch
Glue
Heart Template
Letter Templates
Instructions:
Print out the template and cut out the pieces. Trace the heart shape onto red craft foam. You will need 4 red hearts. Trace the letters "L" and "V" onto white craft foam and the "O" and "E" onto pink craft foam. Cut out all of these pieces.
Glue one letter onto each heart.
Punch a hole in the top and bottom of each heart (in the center of the top of the heart and the center of the very bottom of the heart).
Cut small pieces of ribbon (3-4 inches) and use the ribbon to tie the bottom of one heart to the top of the next in order so you spell out the word "LOVE". At the top of the "L" heart use a longer piece of ribbon to use as a hanger. At the bottom of the "E" heart thread 3 jingle bells onto the ribbon and then tie it onto the heart.
Hang your craft on the door
