'My Love Hearties' Valentine Craft

I quickly assembled this craft project (and EE gave it a befitting name!) yesterday morning. Effervescent Ethel is skillfully creating a few 'My Love Hearties' each day this week to give to her cousins on Valentine's Day. I have a funny suspicion that Lalaloopsie dolls inspired this craft.

The one on the right is missing a sequined nose...!

This is the sample piece I made.

From Zelda Universe-The Legend of Zelda

Rock Star Me Love Hearty!

Now where did your nose go?!

This is what we used to make the My Love Hearties:

-construction paper and card stock
-glue
-scissors
-ribbon
-ribbon bows
-small craft pearls
-tape
-hole punch standard and heart-shaped
-pencil
-heart stencils or heart shaped cookie cutter
-scrap fabric
-specialty paper
-recycled greeting cards
-buttons
-rick rack
-sequins
-feathers
-googly eyes
-black crepe paper
-recycled paint chip samples
-pipe cleaners/chenille stems
-Valentines'-themed stickers
-popsicle sticks and/or tongue depressors (optional)
-permanent marker to sign and date on the back

  Place a tray on the table and decorate as desired.

Set aside to dry thoroughly. Sign to and from on the back and date.

Cost: I bought a package of Valentine stickers and a spool of ribbon (pink with red hearts) at Dollar Tree. The rest of the craft items were from the craft barrel. $2.00 total cost.
