Easy DIY Valentines

Jessica Green posted these super cute valentines that she made with her 5 year old daughter.  She graciously gave us permission to share the photos and instructions.  You can see her original post on Instagram.

Materials (from Hobby Lobby and Michael’s):

  • die-cut hearts
  • paper glitter glasses (about the same size as the hearts)
  • valentines stickers
  • silly eye stickers

1. Put the glasses on the heart and tape the arms to the back of the heart

2. Put eye stickers inside the glasses frames (centered for the best fit!)
