Chesco Mom and Artist Victoria O'Neill Shares a Super Cute DIY Valentine Craft

Kiss the Birdies
LOVE BIRD VALENTINES

It’s fun for kids to make their own Valentines for school mates and family members,and it doesn’t have to be a big production, expense, effort or mess.

Here is a very simple, cute project for your kids to make Valentines, quickly, inexpensively, and lovingly.
It’s so much fun to kiss the paper!

If you are doing this with a group of unrelated children, they should each have their own lipstick. Write each person’s name on a piece of masking tape, and tape it to their lipstick.

MATERIALS: a printer, card stock in a light color to print the birds on, ribbon or yarn or raffia, hole punch, thin markers or colored pencils, lipstick Optional: stickers, rubber stamps, glitter etc.

EASY DIRECTIONS:
1. Print and cut out the birds from the template provided
(or make and cut out your own birds.)
2. Practice kiss printing on a separate piece of paper on the table.
Lay birds on a table. Apply lipstick to lips, pucker up,
then kiss each bird inside the wing, one by one,
3. Decorate with thin markers and/or colored pencils,
adding beaks and eyes, or whatever suits you.
4. Punch a hole in the tail. Tie on some ribbon, yarn or raffia.
5. Sign the back and/or cover the back with more kisses and a message.
Ta Da! Sweeter than candy!
