Tissue Paper Valentine Hearts

This is such a fun Valentine craft to do with kids for Valentines Day! It is suitable for kids as young as 4, and can be as detailed as you want to make it.
Gather together the following craft supplies:
Cut the construction paper into the shape of a heart – the easiest way is to fold it in half and cut half of the heart “on the fold” – meaning that the center of the heart goes over the fold of the paper. Put some glue on the paper plate, and give everyone a stack of the tissue paper squares.
If you want to add
more color, alternate red
When the heart is covered, gently move it to a place that it can sit undisturbed for a few hours (or overnight) to dry.
This can be easily modified to make a fun gift for other holidays too – a flower for Mother’s Day, a tie or car for Father’s Day, a flag or fireworks for the 4th of July, pumpkins in the fall… you get the idea! Just change the shape of the paper and the color of the tissue to suit the theme.

Place
the center of a square of tissue paper over the end of the pencil – if
unsharpened use the lead end, otherwise use the eraser end. Dip the
tissue-covered end in the glue & place it in the center of your heart.
Repeat this until the heart is covered with tissue. 
and pink squares, or draw a design in the heart (an arrow or the word
“love”) and use a different color in those areas.
Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery, as your
bag is handmade
