Let’s celebrate the LOVESTRUCK holiday with awesome crafty style, with today’s Popsicle Stick Valentine’s Day Party Hats kid craft tutorial!

Keep scrolling for the full how-to and few decorating tips! #gluedtomycrafts

It all started with some adorable and really festive pom pom garland I found at my local Walmart store recently {since I gave up Michaels for a few months, for a  New Year’s Resolution, it’s amazing all the fun things I’m finding at Walmart instead – ha!}

From there, I added in some inexpensive supplies like wooden popsicle sticks, festive Valentine’s Day scrapbook paper and craft paint into the mix, I came up with this grand craft stick party hat art project idea!

On that note – you too can pull this party hat craft idea with your child together in no time and show them off as festive decor as well! Maybe even attach them to some wooden stakes for a photo prop!

So what are waiting for? Celebrate BIG with our simple Valentine hat craft today! You can find ALL the details below in the full step-by-step tutorial!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your child’s finished popsicle stick Valentine’s Day party hats and share them with us on our Facebook page! It seriously makes my day when those images come through our feed! #gluedtomycrafts
