Contact Paper Stained Glass Hearts For Valentine’s Day
Hi friends! The Valentine’s Day crafts have been flying out left & right lately on the blog – but today’s kid craft is one of my personal favorites to date!
Not just because it’s easy, inexpensive and fun for all ages {because duh – it is} but because this particular Valentine’s Day themed kids craft can actually also be made all year long – no matter the holiday or day of the week. It’s just a great way to make MOSAIC HEART pieces to decorate your home with and spread some good cheer! Don’t you love evergreen stuff like that?!
With the FREE Stained Glass Heart printable I’m offering today, all you need to do is download the heart shaped file, print it out on white cardstock and get straight to work with your child, cutting and layering to make a mosaic heart design. I’ve set up the basic frame work for you – it’s your job to get the creative juices flowing and make the heart pieces really stand out! Good luck on your mission of being crafty today! I just know you are going to love the end results!
Find all the details and free heart shaped printable below! It’s easy peasy fun – promise!
