Valentine’s Day Taco Paper Plate Craft Idea
Although I originally intended for these for only the Valentine’s Day holiday, let’s face it – EVERY DAY is a good day to make {and eat} some tacos! So please don’t feel obligated to only bring it out for the lovestruck holiday. Mark this down to be done on repeat, over and over again, any day of the year! Perhaps even bring it to the table for teacher appreciation or a quirky Christmas craft idea!
Another great thing about this paper love taco craft idea? All the supplies can be purchased at Dollar Tree, making this a REALLY inexpensive craft idea. The green crinkle paper is the lettuce and the doily heart is the “meat.” That’s it! From there, you can add other embellishments but I like the simplicity of the two supplies I used 🙂
Anyways – I’m sure you have an appetite for the crafty tutorial now! Find all the details and free provided printable below! Happy crafting, my friends!
