DIY· Valentine's Day

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.

Can’t believe it’s already December 3rd! 🎄🎁 Thanksgiving just flew by. It feels like just yesterday we were all gathered around the table, giving thanks. Now, it’s time to tie a bow on this year and embrace the holiday cheer! 🎀 
Had to “tie” that in with all the bows I’ve been seeing lately 🤓 
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

HELLO ‘Gram Fam! I’ve been MIA, and I wanted HELLO ‘Gram Fam! 
I’ve been MIA, and I wanted to take a moment to explain why. 

This year has been a whirlwind! My oldest daughter headed off to college, ROLL TIDE!! I’m so proud of her! She is doing well and college is fitting her nicely but MAN do I miss her! 

I’ve also started a new job as a Technology Teacher at our school. It’s been a huge adjustment, trying to balance all the things, but I’m loving it. I needed some time to settle into this new normal. 

Instagram has changed a lot since I first started, and I’ve been figuring out my place on this platform. It can get overwhelming but I missed connecting with this amazing community.  My love for DIY and home decor runs deep, and I’m excited to share more of my passion and inspiration with you all. I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things. 

Thank you all for your patience and support. I appreciate you sticking around and checking in on me. I have missed you ALL 😘 

**This picture from Page and Palette in Fairhope with my girl captured my life at the moment with the book titles.
