tissue paper valentine


Today's valentine is another fun project to do with your children.  This is my little nephew Mason, who I think is about the cutest kid in the whole world.  (I know, I'm biased).  He just happened to be over when I was making these so he got to help.


Start with wax paper and tissue paper.  I threw a couple punched hearts in the mix too.  Add tissue paper in layers, adding a little glue as you go.


When your project is covered, cover it with wax paper.  Next, cut out a heart to go on top of the wax paper sandwich.  I've told you I taught 3rd grade, right?  I used to do these with my class and we would cover the windows of the classroom.  So cute.


Let all the glue dry for a little bit...


Trim around the edge of the heart so no extra wax paper is showing.


I love how they look hung in the window...

    By the way, you have word verification on. Sometimes folks don't realize that. I have a tip for how to turn it off and increase blog interaction here: http://igottacreate.blogspot.com/2011/12/bloggy-tips-101.html
