This is a fun easy project that even your kids and grandkids can do! I think it would be prettier if the straw was covered in some pretty backgound paper…but I had only a couple of hours to do five projects and take photos of them to post for this week! So, I elected to just leave the straw as is…and you can too if covering the straw would be too difficult for your kids or you need to get done fast. I used the Full Heart Punch to punch hearts out of Real Red, Pink Passion, Rose Red, and Pretty in Pink (you could also use Pixie Pink but I didn’t have many scraps in that color and I used up scraps)! The straw is cut approximately into one inch pieces.I used the handheld punch to punch holes in the hearts and threaded them alternately, separated by straws on to a length of hemp twine…just making sure it would be long enough to fit over the head. If you don’t have any hemp twine you could use yarn…but I think the hemp twine will be easier because it is stiffer than yarn.
Have fun with this great Valentine Project!
