Heart Donuts Craft Supplies:
* Craft Foam Hearts – one per Valentine donut craft {I found mine at Michaels}
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Small Paper Plate
* Brown Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brush
* School Glue
* Pink Tissue Paper
* Loose Craft Glitter
Directions:
* First things first – fold your craft foam heart shape in half and cut out a half circle out to create a hole for your donut.
* Now open up the craft foam piece back up again.
* Now squirt some brown craft paint on your paper plate.
* Using the foam paint brush, paint your foam heart shape completely brown to give it the look of a baked donut.
* Once done, tear/cut up some pink tissue paper.
* Put a line of glue around the center hole of the heart and place the tissue paper on top for the frosting.
* Finish off your craft foam heart valentine donut by adding a swirl of glitter on top of the glued-down tissue paper and adding “sprinkle” glitter on top.
* Now shake off excess glitter and set aside your piece so they can dry completely.
* Repeat the above steps for each donut you want to make.
* Display and/or play with proudly! #gluedtomycrafts
