Paper Plate Valentine’s Day Bear

Welcome friends! I’m so glad you are here today on our Paper Plate Valentine Bear tutorial. It’s inspired by the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday and it’s “BEARY” easy to recreate!

Let me start off by saying that the craft supplies for this kid friendly paper bear tutorial are fairly inexpensive and readily available this time of year. Dollar Tree is actually my favorite place to stock up on pink tissue paper and Valentine heart stickers. You can’t beat the price for either/or, especially since the pink tissue paper can be used BEYOND the lovestruck holiday {and we will show you that, over and over again!}

Now friends…. please stop dragging your feet! Check out my tutorial below, grab those craft supplies and get to work! Your child is going to appreciate it “BEARY” much and I just know you will too! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
