Valentine Strawberry Craft Supplies:
- Large RED, HEART SHAPED Paper Plate {one per strawberry craft}
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Wiggle Eye Stickers {on Amazon}
- Large Heart Paper Punch {on Amazon}
- Green Cardstock
- Brown Cardstock
- Basic Paper Craft Scissors

Directions:
- First things first – grab ONE heart shaped paper plate and your black Sharpie marker.
- Make several dots {or small hearts} all over the paper plate to give the “strawberry” some dimension.
- Next go ahead and adhere the wiggle eyes in place & draw on a smile with the same marker.
- When done, set aside the paper plate for now.
- Now grab your two cardstock sheets, the heart paper punch and the scissors.
- Out of the green cardstock, cut out TWO heart shapes for the “leaves” of the strawberry.
- Out of the brown cardstock, cut out a long, thin rectangle shape for the “stem.”
- Now the last step – assembling. To finish off your heart shaped strawberry friend, staple on the two paper hearts & the rectangle stem towards the top of the decorated paper plate.
- Now add anything else you like for that custom look before displaying your paper plate strawberry proudly for all to see!
