Valentines Photo Props

Hello there!

 There is just something about photo props that I can NEVER get tired of. They are fun, versatile and can be used time & time again. And who's with me on this one . . .DO you or DO you not, feel silly & just like a kid when posing with them? Personally I LOVE getting to act like a big kid ANY chance I get!

There are LOTS of moms out there right now trying to figure out what to do for their kids classroom parties coming up here soon for Valentines Day. Well last year I was wanting to do something different myself, so I took in these Valentines Day photo booth props, brought my camera & the kids LOVED it. They posed, they giggled - it was a TOTAL HIT! I later sent all the parents, that asked, their kids pic!

First up - this super easy favor to make in class with a group of kids or you can have your kids make them to give as a valentine. A few ideas for ya on this one!

We shall call him "Silly Heart Pencil Topper" - k?

step by step directions for pencil topper, valentine pencil craft, kid craft


To create: 
1.  I had my daughter use the craft coloring sheet from the Silly Hearts collection & colored in one of the hearts & cut it out
2.  take pipe cleaner & twist in knot at top of a pencil
3. continue wrapping the pipe cleaner around another pencil to create the 'twisted' effect
4.  repeat on other side until you get the 'antennae' look
5. cut a heart shape out of the pattern paper from the Silly Hearts collection, 6.  fold vertically in 1/2
7. snip 2 cuts on the fold  - one about an inch down from the top & the other an inch from bottom - both about 1/2 in.
8. insert pencil w/ antennae in the 2 holes snipped
9.  glue on sides of heart from step 1 & adhere to the heart w/ the pencil in it (don't glue entire backside of silly face heart - so it allows you to remove pencil)

I don’t really measure so I’ll guess the ribbon is ~5” long.
Loop it around the end of the paperclip and that’s it!
