As many of you know, I love to craft and create, but my skills are pretty basic (I skip anything overly complicated, long instruction list, obscure tools, etc). These ideas for simple Valentine’s Day crafts are as simple as could be for kids and adults.

Candy Heart:

All you’ll need is construction paper, scissors, glue, and candy. I like to use pink or red paper because it’s more festive, but plain white is ok, too.  Simply layer 2 pieces of paper together, trace a large heart and cut out. Glue one side, fill with any type of individually wrapped chocolate like Hershey’s Kisses, then finish sealing. I let mine dry overnight and put them on the breakfast table for a surprise on V-Day morning.

Paper Wreath:

If you don’t have any candy on hand—or don’t want the extra temptation!—try making a wreath out of hearts. These look nicest when a variety of colors are used. In addition to construction paper, glue, and scissors, you’ll also need a sheet of white poster board.

Start by drawing a large circle on the poster board and small to medium sized hearts on the construction paper. Cut everything out, then glue the hearts onto the poster board, overlapping slightly. Paper wreaths looks so pretty taped to a wall or hanging from the ceiling.

Do you have any super-simple V-Day crafts? I’d love to hear about them.
