Have students begin to cover the heart with washi tape of their choice. I used a few different patterns with one solid. Students will continue to cover the heart until it is fully covered. You may need to model prior to make sure students understand that the washi tape should be placed going in different directions to create a unique look. Students can fully cover the back or leave it as is.
Once the heart is covered in washi tape use Mod Podge to seal the tape. I used one thin coat and made sure to press the edges firmly with my brush. This will help make sure the edges are smooth. As the first thin coat is still wet, add a picture of choice. Apply one thin coat of Mod Podge over the picture. Let dry.
Add embellishments for an extra touch or choose to skip this step. The self-adhesive pearls work great. Attach a self-adhesive magnet to the back.
Allow students to use their creativity to decorate a gift bag using self adhesive foam shapes. The Kraft mini bags fit the heart magnets perfectly.
Note: If the Mini Kraft Bags aren't available, try our Small Craft Gift Bags.
I hope these DIY Valentine’s bring some creativity to your classroom and put a smile on the faces of your students’ parents. Keep spreading the love!
