Arrow Pencil & Heart for Valentine's Day

Hi everyone!!!

This time we'll make a super-easy craft which can bail out any dad or mom on Valentine's Day.
It's so easy because you only need to print a heart template with the phrase you want to express what you feel for a special person.


For this activity you'll need the following:

Materials:
  • Printer
  • Construction paper (red, pink, purple or any colour you want)
  • Valentine pencils
  • Hole punch
  • Scissors

How to do it:
  • First, we need to print the heart template with an inside Valentine's phrase. (ex: "Thanks for being my friend")



  • Then we need to cut out the hearts and we'll make 2 holes with the hole punch (as shown in the picture). In these 2 holes we'll introduce the pencil (arrow) of our heart.

  • And remember!!! Don't forget to write the name's person on the back of the heart before you put the pencil.





  • And voila!!! We make a cute and easy present to share on Valentine's Day.


Thanks for reading my blog from the bottom of my heart!!! And until next time!!!

How to make flower with foamy

Hi, everyone!!!

Flowers are one of the most appreciated things in the world. My grandmother loved flowers, especially roses. That is why today we will learn how to make beautiful flowers in EVA foam (foami, fomi).




These flowers are perfect for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day. I made them to decorate the bedroom of my young daughter.

Well, get to work!!

Materials:
  • Eva foam ( pink, purple, yellow & violet)
  • White paper (to trace the templates) 
  • Iron ( to heat the foam)
  • Acrylic paint (pink, purple & violet)
  • Fine-tipped paintbrush
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun

How to make it:
  • Let us first trace and cut the flower of our choice in the white paper. So we get our templates. I traced 3 different sizes of flowers.


  • Now you need to draw and cut the flowers in the foamy. I chose  pink and purple colors, but you can pick the colors of your choice.
  • To shape the foamy you need to iron it on low heat (always putting a cloth above it to avoid burning the foamy).When the foamy is hot you need to mold it with your fingers, ( with careful to avoid tearing it)
  • The next step is to glue all the pieces of each flower together.

  • And finally you can decorate your flowers with acrylic paint. (Another option is to decorate them with a permanent marker).


And presto!! We have some beautiful flowers ready to decorate anyplace in your house!!

Thank you for reading my blog, and until next time!!
