    Default Any fun Valentine's Day craft ideas?

    Please share your crafty Valentine ideas with us.

    Last year I crushed many pink and red crayons and melted them in heart, x and o silicone molds from Williams Sonoma. Put them in cellophane bags for ds classmates.

    That was a ton of work for me and this year I'm looking for something simple. I may just pass out cards and stop at that, but would love to hear what everyone else is doing!

    Kids Craft Weekly has some cute ideas...

    We might try the contact paper one with tissue paper instead of cellophane.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else is doing!

    Just curious, for those of you that did the melted crayons last year, what did you use to stick the hearts to construction paper? Last year I finally ended up using a little bit of hot glue, but I don't think that it was very easy to remove from the paper (ie tore it). The double sided tape that I bought never stuck to the crayons. any ideas? Last year we just gave the crayons to family, this year I wanted to pass them out to DS classmates. TIA

    in case anyone cares... I ended up melting crayons again!
    I found a heart mold at Target's Dollar Spot and should've known that for that cheap it wasn't silicone, but I really wasn't thinking.
    It melted! But I managed to save it in time to melt all the crayons so it worked out perfectly.
    Then in the goodie bag, I included a coloring page shaped like a heart that I found online.
    Done
