Sweet Treat Garlands

re to make charming garlands. Hang the garlands on your window sills to add to the Valentine festivities. Create decorative pink and white flower wreaths by gluing pink and white paper flowers with colorful beads and lace heart cutouts on wreath forms. Place the wreaths on the entrance and on the doors inside your home as a creative way to celebrate Valentines Day for kids.

Valentines Necklace

Heart necklace is a very cute gift that can be presented to your beloved. A heart symbolizes love and giving your loved a heart portrays handing over one’s existence to another. And it becomes even more personal, romantic and charming when you make it yourself.

Hand Painted Wine Glass

Drinking your favorite wine out of a romantic wine glass has no comparisons. Now, if the glass is a special Valentine hand painted wine glass, it cannot be compared to anything in this world. Hand painted wine glasses are simply the most wonderful gifts that you can present your beloved.

Heart Trees

Collect small branches and remove the leaves. Spray glitter paint on the branches. Get the kids to cut out heart shapes in different colors from construction paper. Add glitter, sequins or stickers on the hearts to make them attractive. Kids can also paint their own patterns. Secure the hearts on the branches with glue. Bring home small red vases for the kids so they can "plant" their heart trees by arranging the branches in the vase. Use the vase as table decor for your Valentines Day decorations.

Custom Potato Stamps

Carve potatoes to create the desired shape. Start by making a simple design using a marker on a halved potato. Cut around the design to create a raised stamp design. Kids can dip these potato stamps in colorful paints to make their own patterns on construction paper.

Photo Frames

Use craft paper in solid colors to cut out fun shapes of people, animals or even favorite cartoon characters. Paste the cutouts on colored papers in contrasting shades. Ask the kids to write their special messages at the bottom of the pages. Create borders for this artwork using long lengths of black paper and gluing them along the sides.
