My little one gets excited about every. single. holiday. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to decorate using items we have in our craft bin. This colourful Pipe Cleaner Heart Banner was super easy and fun to make.
What you will need:
- Pipe cleaners
- Ribbon (you can go as fancy or as simple as you like)
- Ruler/Tape Measure
Directions:
- Using a measuring tape or the ribbon itself, measure the length of the area where you plan to hang the banner. Add about another foot or two of extra ribbon to ensure you have enough. Set it aside.
- Shape pipe cleaners into hearts. My preschooler helped by first forming each pipe cleaner into a "V' and then we rounded the tops and twisted the ends together. This is a great activity for those tiny fingers!
- Next string each heart onto your ribbon, alternating the different colours. We made a little knot to secure each heart into place. If you are a stickler for accuracy, measure out each segment so they are the same.
- Once all the hearts are in place, you're ready to proudly display your labour of love to the world! We were so happy with ours, we made more to give to friends!
