Valentine's Day is a fun and festive holiday that's perfect for getting creative and decorating your home. One simple and inexpensive way to add some holiday cheer is to make your own decorations using cut-out hearts.
​
Here's how to make Valentine's Day garlands and bunting using cut-out hearts:
Materials:
  • Construction paper (red, pink, and white)
  • Scissors
  • Glue or tape
  • String or ribbon
Instructions:
  1. Cut out heart shapes from the construction paper in various sizes. You can use a template or freehand the hearts. You can also mix and match different colors of paper to create multi-colored hearts.
  2. Arrange the hearts in a pattern or randomly, depending on your preference. You can also have your kids decorate the hearts with markers or glitter before stringing them together.
  3. Once you have your desired arrangement of hearts, use glue or tape to attach them to the string or ribbon.
  4. Hang the garland or bunting around your home to add a festive touch to your Valentine's Day decor. You can drape it over a mantel, across a wall, or over a doorway.
This simple and easy craft is perfect for kids of all ages and is a great way to get them involved in the holiday. And the best part is that you can use your homemade decorations year after year, adding a special and personal touch to your Valentine's Day celebrations.


Tips:
  • If you have a variety of craft supplies on hand, such as stickers, sequins, or glitter, you can add even more decoration to the hearts.
  • Consider making a batch of garlands or bunting to give as gifts to friends and family. This is a great opportunity to teach your kids about the value of giving and sharing with others.
  • If your kids are younger and may need more guidance, you can create a template for them to trace the heart shapes onto the construction paper, or you can cut out the hearts in advance and have your kids decorate them.
  • Encourage your kids to think about where they want to hang their decorations and help them brainstorm specific patterns or arrangements for the hearts
