Nothing says Valentine’s Day quite like a homemade craft – and one of the best crafts you can make just in time for the holiday is this charming Paper Plate Valentine Heart Tree.

Paper Plate Valentine Heart Tree Craft

Heart Covered Tree Craft Idea

Welcome friends! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to commemorate this holiday of love than a special craft that can be enjoyed by all ages!

Today, we’ll be making a Paper Plate Valentine Heart Tree that has a handprint cutout for the trunk – SO MUCH FUN! A perfect project for moms, teachers, educators, crafters or any creative person looking for something fun to do during the month of February.

This adorable holiday tree that is covered in paper hearts, is super easy to assemble and can make beautiful decorations in your home or in a classroom. Plus it’s sure to bring lasting smiles of joy when completed (especially those coming from little ones!).

So let’s get crafting now with our items on hand such as paper plates, scissors and glue! I’ve even included a free printable linked below, to get you started even faster today. Happy crafting, my friends!

The Directions:

  • First things first – print out TWO copies of our heart printable. One in pink and on in color {feel free to change this step up though!}
  • Go ahead and have children trim out some {or all} the heart shapes from the two printables. These will become the leaves of the tree. Set them aside for now.
  • To make the trunk of the tree, grab your brown cardstock paper, pencil and scissors.
  • Pick a hand – any hand will do! Have your child lay one hand in the center of the paper.
  • Using the pencil, trace around your child’s hand and part of their arm as well.
  • Trim out that design and discard excess paper.
  • Now we are heading towards the last few steps! Grab all your paper pieces and the large paper plate.
  • Glue the heart cutouts ALL over the paper plate. Anywhere you want! There are no real rules to this step.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Valentine’s Day Tree – simply staple the handprint cutout to the decorated paper plate.
  • And that’s it! Now display it proudly for ALL to see!
