diy valentine crafts

hey guys! shawn here from shawnmhowell.com and in today's 2 minute tip i'm going to give you three simple valentines day crafts for kids. i have been shopping at dollar tree and hobby lobby in preparation for this video so let's get into it. so for this first craft you are going to need some felt hearts. and i found these at hobby

lobby. and as you can see they are already pre-punched with these cute little heart punch outs but you could easily get your own felt, cut out hearts, and then hole punch around. but the ones from hobby lobby came in three different colors. and then you're going to need some kind of valentine's day ribbon which i also got

at hobby lobby. and then some glitter glue pens and these came from hobby lobby as well. and what you're going to do is have your kids weave or lace the ribbon through the holes in the outside of the heart. and here's the finished product. i thought it came out really cute and you can see i just laced and tied a bow

at the top and then with glitter glue i wrote "jesus loves me" but you could easily write your child's name on here. for this next craft you're going to need some paper doilies. and i got these pretty white ones from the dollar tree for a dollar. and then you'll need some band-aids. you have the kids cut the doily in half... kind of in a triangle

pattern... to make it look like a broken heart and then you write "jesus heals broken hearts" on it. and have them put the heart back together with the band-aid. for this third easy craft you're going to need a hole punch, some ribbon, again i got this ribbon at the dollar tree for dollar, and some card stock hearts. and i got these from

hobby lobby. and this you can make either as an individual family project to encourage your family to pray for one another or you can do what i'm doing which is i'm encouraging my church congregation to pray for our children and youth. and so what you do is you just hole punch the top of your cardstock heart and add a cute little ribbon and

then you put in your child or youth name and their age. but i'm really excited about this project. we're going to have these hanging up. we have about 60 hearts were going to hang up in the main area where people enter the sanctuary for valentine's day and encourage the congregation to take a heart down and pray for the child or the

youth name that's listed on the heart from valentine's day through easter. if you like this video please give me a big thumbs up, share it with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe. i post new videos every tuesday. i'll see you in my next video. thanks for watching! bye!
