DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
3D Heart Paper Craft
This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament you
can hang around the room.
|
|
Materials:
 | printer |
| paper (I prefer construction paper as it's a bit sturdier) |
| scissors |
| OPTIONAL: crayons (or paint, markers, etc) |
| string, thread, ribbon or wool |
Instructions:
| Print template and color as desired
|
| Cut out the template pieces (may require adult assistance and can be done
before hand.
|
| Cut on one of the dotted lines right up to the center.
|
| Pick out the two matching hearts (this is good practice for young
children!)
|
| Slide the hearts together, top to bottom
all I have is the snowflake image to show you how it's done |
| Glue a ribbon or thread onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a ribbon
through (I used a thread and it worked really well) |
Options:
| instead of simply coloring the template, here are some thoughts for
alternatives:
 | silver sparkles or sparkle glue
|
| Salt Drip
 | 3 parts flour |
| 1 part salt |
| food coloring (red would be nice) |
| water
Mix together 3 parts flour, 1 part salt, food coloring, and enough water to make a dripping consistency but not too
runny. Use a popsicle stick to drip onto paper shapes.
Will dry hard and sparkly.
|
|
| grated chalk (take a piece of sidewalk or chalkboard chalk and rub it
with course sandpaper to get chalk dust. Pour the dust over glue
covered paper. Pink chalk would be nice. |
