Crafting Time: 20 - 30 minutes
1. Trace and cut heart shapes from red, pink, and white paper.
2. On each heart write the name of a family member or friend in black marker.
3. Decorate the hearts with dimensional paint and glitter glue. Allow the paint to dry.
4. Glue the hearts together in the shape of a wreath. When the glue dries, hang the wreath on your front door.

Thank you for a wonderful idea. I'm going to make one today for my front door. I will be cutting mine out of fun foam and adding a magnet to the back. (our door is metal) This way I will have it for next year too.
I love homemade decorations and this one is definitely a keeper.
YA KNOW I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS. WHY COULDN'T YOU ALSO USE THE SAME BASIC THEME BUT CUT OUT EGGS FOR AN EASTER THEME OR FLAGS FOR THE 4TH OF JULY,ETC....
i agree what a great yet simple and inexpensive craft idea for valentines day
This is a great idea, I think it might be an idea for Christmas, using maybe stars or Christmas trees. Well done.
To make this heart wreath, we traced a large circle then a smaller one on the inside of a pizza box. We glued foam hearts onto the wreath, one on top of the other in 3 different sizes. We used a hole punch to cut out confetti in all different colors to fill in the spaces. We used glitter on a red heart in the middle of wreath that said "XO" and tied it inside the hole of the wreath with a ribbon. Using a hole punch, we made a hole at the top with a ribbon for hanging. This kept the kids busy for 2 hours.
