Paper Heart Doily 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!

Happy crafting this upcoming “lovestruck” season, my friends! Don’t forget – when you recreate these hedgehog paper doily valentines with your child, come share pictures on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see it! I just LOVE hearing from our lovely readers! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Doily Hedgehog Valentine Supplies:

* Paper Trimmer/Scissors
* Small White Heart Doilies
* Colored Cardstock {brown/pink}
* Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

* First things first – whether using scissors or a paper trimmer, trim down your brown cardstock into 5×5 inch squares. You will want ONE brown piece per valentine.
* Next use your tape runner to adhere your paper doily heart to the center of the brown cardstock. Repeat for each valentine.
* Following that, use a large glue dot to add your heart chocolate as the nose of the hedgehog, at the bottom tip of the heart.
* Now take your wiggle eyes and add those on in the center of the paper doily.
* Grab your pink cardstock and scissors. Cut out TWO small ears for the hedgehog. Adhere those on to your valentine.
* Next take your black Sharpie marker and draw on “spikes” all over and around the hedgehog’s face.
* Add other embellishments you see fit – like bows, glitter etc!
* Finally – it’s time to your lion themed valentines gift away!
