DIY Yarn Hearts ~ Valentine Craft

Valentine's Day

Sharing is caring!

  • Facebook

Easy DIY yarn hearts that anyone can make. Simple valentine craft that can be displayed as valentine decor.

It is no surprise that Valentine’s Day is a favorite for kids and adults. Treats, cards, and candy oh my!! I, as a mama, enjoy an easy crafting session that doesn’t involve a lot of work, mess, and in this particular holiday, candy. This is a super simple DIY yarn heart valentine craft. Little supplies needed, a perfect craft to do with kids and display as Valentine decor.

My little loves to do crafts and I am all about activities that keep her away from video games and screen time. We made these cute yarn hearts a few years ago on a rainy Saturday. She was 5 years old at the time and she thought the craft was easy and fun. Any kid craft that doesn’t require paint or glitter is my jam 😉

Supplies needed for Yarn Hearts

  • cardboard – (use a box that was ready to go in the recylcle bin)
  • pencil
  • scissors
  • yarn (not the chuncky kind)
  • tape or glue

Yarn Hearts

Start by making a heart template. Our hearts were 3 inches big. I folder a piece of paper made half a heart, and cut it. Your child can do the tracing on the cardboard. Looking back I wish I had taken pictures of this process but it was pretty simple. I cut the hearts out with some sharp scissors. Depending on your child’s age and the cardboard you are using, you might want to take over the cutting.

Once the hearts are cut out the fun begins. First, start by taping the end of the yarn to the middle of the heart and start wrapping. Wrap the yarn around snugly and change directions in wrapping until the cardboard is no longer visible. Once the heart is completely covered in yarn you can cut and either tie or glue it in place.

I got my little excited about these colors because they matched her top. She hates my boring neutral life 😆 She thinks some pinks or reds would be much more festive for Valentine’s day, but this is the yarn I had on hand.

Displaying yarn hearts

She found the polka dot ribbon and wanted to make a heart with it. The ribbon wasn’t as easy to wrap. I helped her keep it snug in place the yarn works better. I love these chubby hearts. They are full of texture and make great fillers for bowls and trays.

This mini dough bowl held these hearts perfectly. I placed some greenery at the bottom and she added the yarn hearts on top. She was so proud to put them on our coffee table for Valentine’s day. Here are more bowl and tray options.

Swipe over to see the before, it was the summer we moved in. I don’t normally share evening shots but I was so excited to share. I had been looking for a more modern #displaycabinet but they are kinda pricey so I painted an existing cabinet and added some modern legs. What do y’all think??
