Paper Doily Heart Shaped Hedgehog Valentines
I love this craft idea because kids can typically make these DIY pieces by themselves.
Although mom MIGHT have to step in for a little guidance or directions, it’s not really “being on them” step by step per say.
If you have school age children, you probably will have no problem with them recreating these by themselves AND having some awesome customized pieces that their classmates will be super impressed with! Sides that? Isn’t handmade the best way to go? I think so!
Whether for a boy or girl – these are sure to be a real winner in your crafty home! I promise! Find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below!
