Craft Foam Chocolate Covered Strawberry Craft
Today’s foam chocolate covered strawberry craft tutorial is another one of those “crazy ideas” that came into my head late one night.
If you have been a long time follower of Glued To My Crafts, you probably know already that I have a crazy LOVE for Tulip Puffy Paint. In the past two years, I’ve done some of the “unthinkable” with this type of craft medium. Like I always say – I STRIVE to share crafty ideas that are outside the traditional. Today’s post is one of those!
Anyways – recently I was brainstorming new tutorials to share with my readers, when I started to think that the brown Tulip puffy paint I had on hand looked pretty close to milk chocolate. One thing led to another and here we are today {and I’m so glad you are here to check it out!}
I repeat – this chocolate dipped strawberry craft idea is just for PRETEND purposes but I think it’s super clever for the Valentine’s Day season. You could even make these as a custom valentines to hand out to friends and family.
To complete these smiling strawberries, all you need is some inexpensive, basic red craft foam heart shapes, chunky glitter for the sprinkles, green cardstock and a bottle of brown puffy paint. That’s it!
You can find ALL the details you need to know in the full tutorial below, as well as links to the supplies I used. I really hope you see my vision and are inspired to recreate one with your child today!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished craft foam strawberries with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see them! #gluedtomycrafts

- While the paint is still wet, sprinkle some chunky glitter “sprinkles” on top.
- Now grab your school glue, wiggle eyes and black Sharpie marker.
- Glue on the wiggle eyes and using the black Sharpie marker to draw on a face in the center {and maybe some small dots all over to give the look of a strawberry.}

- Out of the green cardstock, punch out TWO green heart shapes.
- Out of the brown cardstock, cut out a “stem” for your strawberry.
- Finally, to finish off the Valentine Heart Strawberry project, staple the two paper heart cutouts on the top of the decorated heart shape, along with the stem. This will complete the look of a strawberry.
- And that’s it! You are done. Set aside the paper plate to allow the puffy paint to dry completely {about 2-3 hours}
