This unique project creates heart art with bubble wrap. It's perfect for a Valentine's day project, or to make a fun gift for mom!

Use this fun printing technique to create fun Valentine's Day Art!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Active Time 15 minutes
Additional Time 5 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Difficulty Easy

Materials

Tools

  • Paper Cutter
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Pallet Knife
  • Glue Stick
  • Paint Pen or Markers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting both sheets of your paper into 1/4ths. Then draw hearts onto 4 of your pieces. You will not see your pencil lines in the end so there is no need to erase any mistakes.
  2. Then pinch the center of your heart to snip a starting point. Continue to cut out the center of the heart. Again, you will not see your lines so don't worry if any of them show. Place your hearts off to the side, with your 4 plain sheets of cardstock.
  3. Next, on a sheet of wax paper, squirt out a few stripes of your acrylic paint colors. You will want at least 2. Make sure they are colors that will blend well.
  4. Use a pallet knife to spread out the paint into an even layer at least the size of your quarter sheet of paper.
  5. Cut a piece of bubble wrap slightly smaller than your paper. Place it bubble side down on the paint and press down.
  6. Now move the bubble wrap paint side down to a plain sheet of your cardstock.
  7. Peel the bubble wrap back off to reveal your print!Continue this on each sheet of plain cardstock. You should easily get 4 with the same paint and bubble wrap.
  8. Once your pattern has dried attach the cut hearts on top using glue. Be sure to add the glue to the side of the heart where any pencil marks have been made.
  9. Trim off any uneven edges on your design.
  10. Last, you can add names or messages onto your hearts.

Tips for making these heart suncatchers.

  • Roll out a larger sheet of hearts for multiple kids to create or to make more hearts with one kid.
  • The washable marker can be removed once the hearts are cut out by rubbing with a paper towel.
  • This project can get messy! We recommend creating outdoors or in a space where the mess will not be an issue.

How to Make Mended Paper Hearts Valentine’s Day Cards and Bookmarks

Prepare in advance blank bookmark and cards cut from white construction paper.

Start by stacking 3 different colors of construction paper one on top of another. Use bookmark as a guide and draw freehand a heart small enough to fit inside. Mended paper hearts craft project is perfect to make with kids at home, to give to their favorite people. #Twitchetts

Repeat drawing process with a piece of white cardstock cut in card size. Mended paper hearts are a quick and easy way to make classroom Valentines during art class! #Twitchetts

Cut the hearts, holding all three construction papers firmly. Our goal is to have 3 smaller and 3 bigger hearts, each in 3 different colors and exactly the same size. Mended paper hearts craft project is perfect to make with kids at home, to give to their favorite people. #Twitchetts

Hold bigger hearts together and cut them in 4 pieces. Cut smaller hearts in 3 pieces, making sure to hold all 3 pieces together firmly. Mended paper hearts are a quick and easy way to make classroom Valentines during art class! #Twitchetts

Flip hearts on the other side to hide pencil (or marker) when gluing on white cardstock.

Arrange the broken hearts in such a way to have 3 different color pieces for each heart bookmark (smaller hearts).

When using bigger hearts, since we have cut 4 pieces, some of the pieces will be repeated so just try to make them as colorful as possible. These will be used for Valentine’s Day cards. Children can also turn mended paper hearts craft into a kindness project for Valentine's day! #Twitchetts

Glue each of the mended hearts using a glue stick. Make sure to leave a bit of white cardstock visible between pieces. All three mended hearts should fit inside a bookmark.

Glue pieces to form a larger mended heart on the folded piece of white cardstock to create a Valentine’s Day card. Again, make sure to leave a bit of space between heart pieces.

And also make sure pieces align in such a way to form a heart. It’s easy to glue them a bit crooked.
Children can also turn mended paper hearts craft into a kindness project for Valentine's day! #Twitchetts

Another option for Valentine’s Day card: instead of folded Valentine’s Day card where you write a message to a receiver inside the card, you can make a Valentine’s Day card with a message right on the front, like this “Love You to Pieces!” card. From broken heart to coloful mended paper hearts in just few minutes!

Paper Heart Wands – Variations to Basic Valentine’s Day Craft

 We also made a few variations. First is with 2 paper strips in different sizes, creating a double heart.

To make the double heart, pick construction paper strips in two different colors. Cut one a bit shorter. Fold both in half and punch holes on both sides. Place paper strips together, longer being on inside. heart wand paper craft for kids

Join tops to bottom, first shorter strip and then longer paper strips to form a double heart and making sure holes are aligned. Pull pipe cleaner through the holes, fold in half and twist to form a wand holder.homemade heart wand diy

The next heart wand variation includes 3 paper strips in different colors.

You will leave 2 of them in full length and cut one shorter. Start by folding all 3 paper strips in half, stack them together and punch a hole on the bottom (folded) part. Punch a hole on the other side of one long and one shorter paper strip. The third shouldn’t be punched.

Fold the paper strips to form a double heart then add 3rd paper strip from outside.diy construction paper and pipecleaner wand

Pull the pipe cleaner through the bottom hole to secure paper strips and twist. Using a pencil, curl the edges of the long paper strip to finish this paper heart wand.handmade Valentines day craft - heart wands

 The last variation, for a paper heart wands, we created is with 4 paper strips cut in 4 different lengths. Make sure to stack them when punching a hole to have the holinon each paper in the same spot. Valentines day classroom gifts - heart wands
