Origami Valentine

OK so origami does require a bit of patience so this one is probably better suited to older kids. This project would work well as something for the kids to make for Daddy, or perhaps even for you! See the tutorial from Kiddy Charts.

  1. Oh these are all lovely. We’ve done the bird feeders last year but have never thought to use beads instead and have them as decorations. Going to do that this year and tie a few together like the felt hearts you’ve posted to use as decorations.

  2. I love the Heart Lollies. My kids would really enjoy making those. I would gift the Valentine’s basket to my mom.

  3. I love the little doily heart decorations, but im not sure where sells them near to us? We could possibly try making our own? Or maybe make snowflakes instead with a heart in the middle? x

  4. I would like to make the heart bird feeder with the kids I babysit. I would like to gift the Valentines hamper to my family.
