Hi Friend!
This is a fairly quick, simple and easy craft for you and your children. Also a great way to recycle some of your scrapped paper.
All you will need in order to make a heart is paper, a ruler and scissors.
Take a strip of craft paper (about 7” long and 3/4” wide) or normal paper or you can cut strips out of magazines and newspapers. We used some of our wet-on-wet watercolored paper for this demonstration.
Measure
Cut
Then fold one corner over into a triangle.
In the next step, the paper strip gets folded over the triangle, and you continue to do this until you have a small triangle packet. The rest of the strip of paper gets cut off on the left and right (creating a pointy edge) and gets tucked into the triangle.
Using scissors, round the two longer corners of the triangle.
Take the nail of your thumb and press a dent into the long side of the triangle and shape it into a heart with the fingers of both of your hands.
Bonus
You can make a garland with several hearts using a very thin, fine sewing needle and some string. The garland looks especially beautiful hanging in a window, on a door or above your nature table.
