Collage Heart Valentines

It's not too late to create some pretty Valentines. These collage heart Valentines were easy and fun to make. 

Supplies Needed:

Collage materials (paper scraps, fabric scraps, ribbon, tape, foam pieces, felt, magazine cut-outs, etc.)

Scissors (both plain & fancy if you have them)

Paper

Glue

Card stock

Our first step was creating our collages. I presented the girls a basket full of collage materials, all of which were either pink or red. We had shiny fabric scraps, felt pieces, scrapbook paper, magazine cutouts, a piece of a red streamer, and just about anything we could find in our crafting stash. The girls arranged and glued until they were satisfied with their collages.

While we were waiting for our collages to dry we folded our card stock into note cards. Then, using some scrap cardboard, we made a heart template to use for cutting our collages. 

After our collages were dry we traced our heart template, then cut out our hearts. We glued these hearts to the front of our note cards and our Valentines were ready to go.

I love how a simple collage turned these hearts into works of art!

What kinds of Valentines are you sending out this year?
