Hi friends!  Looking for an easy (even at the last minute, wink!) and cute valentine to make for your special people?  This 'COLLAGE HEART' took less than fifteen minutes, and I think it's really cute!  I love the quilty sort of look...ooh - maybe next time I'll try it with fabric scraps!  We (and by we, I mean myself and my two little girls) made some as cards and some as ornaments with ribbon hangers, but there are certainly other options too (bookmarks, etc.).  Here's the super easy play-by-play!

 

Materials:  scrapbook papers, fancy scissors (or you can tear the paper), stiff white paper, ribbon (if making your heart into an ornament), cardstock (if making your heart into a card), glue stick

Directions:  Cut a heart shape from the stiff white paper.  Cut or tear the scrapbook paper into lots of small bits.  Glue the small bits of scrapbook paper onto the white paper heart in any pattern you choose (or randomly, as I did).  Trim around the edges of your heart (so it still looks like a heart!).  If making your heart into an ornament, punch a hole near the top and insert a ribbon as a hook.  If making your heart into a card, glue it onto a folded piece of cardstock paper.  Deliver to your loved ones!

Have a crafty day!
