Make a Heart Shaped Paper Clip Bookmark

After attempting to make Heart Shaped Paper Clip Bookmarks, I realized it was much more difficult than I anticipated!

Probably because I was using tiny paper clips to try this on; I think it would have been much easier with the jumbo clips, but tiny ones are just as cute, if not cuter.

You have to bend the paper clip from the middle, to form a sort of heart shape, and then it's ready to tuck into your book page! It not only holds your spot, but it looks pretty cute doing so.

Carved Eraser Stamps For Making Valentine's

Did you know you can make stamps from a chunky pencil eraser?

It's better with the right tools, but as long as you have something sharp, you can form a shape into your eraser and use it for stamping.

I decided to carve a heart shape into my eraser, using only what I had on hand, which happened to be a pair of sewing scissors. It showed to be slightly difficult, but chiseling away at that rubber was kind of therapeutic 😄 Once finished, I inked the heart into paint and began stamping. It's not as pretty as it could be, but it was still fun! You could make these stamps for your kids and let them have tons of fun designing their own Valentine art!

Easy DIY Paper Heart Link Garland for Valentine's Day Decor

A fun and simple way to decorate for Valentine's Day is by making a Paper Heart Link Garland! You can also turn this into a wreath!

For this craft, all you need is construction paper, scissors, and a stapler. You can choose any colors you like, but I decided to go with pink and red. To make this Garland, you begin by cutting strips of paper ((about an inch or half in size)), one strip for as many hearts as you think you might need.

To make a heart, fold a strip of paper in half and press the bottom edge down to form the end of the heart. Then reverse the other two ends, connecting them together to shape a heart, staple the ends and you have your first link!

Do this as many times as desired to get your perfect length of garland, and once you have each heart done, you can begin connecting them. To do this, you just staple them together, and you're done! You will have an easy yet cute Paper Heart Link Garland that you can decorate with!
