Our latest paper craft project for Valentine’s Day is inspired by TRAINS!

I think it’s safe to safe that trains are an iconic piece when it comes to the lovestruck themed holiday.

When I first started googling phrases to put on the printable I was designing, so MANY ideas popped up with various and cutesy “train” sayings. Ultimately, I settled on “I CHOO CHOO choose you to be my Valentine” and I hope you like that phrase too!

Anyways – if you would like to make this adorable keepsake with your child today, just download the file in the supply list below, print it out and add dots of glue on the provided marks in the printable. From there – kids can add as many pieces as they like, as the train pushes the paper hearts out of it’s smoke stack! Then you {the adult} can add your child’s picture as the conductor in the train and have them sign their name in the provided spot, so they can give it away to someone special!

I don’t want to go in full line by line details in paragraphs here, so find everything you need to know, below in the full step-by-step tutorial! The free printable is in the supply list to get you started with ease!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share those pictures with us! #gluedtomycrafts

• One by one, place the small heart pieces on top of the glue dots you just made, until each spot is covered.
• If desired {and for a full look} punch out more hearts and glue those on top of your design and all over the paper.
• Now grab your printed picture. Trim it down so it fits inside the square shape on the train.
