Materials Required: cardboard, paint, glue, candy conversation hearts, photo and tape. Method: Cut a heart shape out of the cardboard. The size you will make the heart will depend of the size of the photo you are using. Cut a hole in the center of the heart shape to disply the photo in. Paint your heart shape red or whatever color you desire. Set aside to dry. Once the paint is dry, glue the candy conversation hearts all over the heart frame. Set it aside to dry again. Once the glue is dry, tape the picture in the opening you cut in the center of the heart frame. Cut a small triangle out of the cardboard and attach behind the picture to make a stand, or you can even add a strip of magnet to the back.
Materials Required: construction paper, glue, jello, crayons or markers Method: Fold a piece of construction paper in half to form a card. Write a message on the inside. On the outside, front cover of your card, draw hearts or other simple designs. Outline your heart or design with glue and then sprinkle the jello on the glue until the glue is covered. Set aside to dry. Once your glue is dry shake of the extra jello and you have a bright, sweet-smelling card.
Materials Required: Small piece of wood, acrylic paint and brushes, sandpaper, eight cut nails, hammer, flexible wire, ball chain, pencil, old magazines or newspaper, glue Method: Brush paint on front and sides of wood and let it dry thoroughly. If desired, sand the painted surface to create an antique look. Draw a heart shape on the wood using a pencil. Then, hammer the nails halfway into the wood, spacing them evenly along the heart outline. Wrap and twist lengths of wire and ball chain around the nails. You can also embellish the design with a wire arrow. For a finishing touch, add a Valentine's message using letters cut from the magazines or newspaper.
