Quick Craft: Heart Mobile

Clara has been helping me to decorate the house in time for Valentine’s Day, and there has been lots of crafty goodness going on around here!

For this little project, I invited her over to sandwich heart-shaped sticky notes and color coding labels onto pieces of string.

We usually have sticky notes and color coding labels on-hand for quick, easy, no-mess crafting.

She had lots of fun doing this, and it’s great fine-motor practice too!!

Next, I tied the strands onto a chopstick to make a heart mobile and hung it for display in our foyer. I hope it makes guests smile as soon as they enter our house!

Super quick, frugal, and very festive!

Have fun!!

  10. This is the second of your projects we’ve done in 2 days! We did the love bugs (so cuuuuute!) and we just finished this mobile. My kids (4 & 7) enjoy crafts, but they LOOOOOOOOOVED this one! Especially my 7 year old son. We didn’t have sticky notes so we cut out our own hearts and stuck them together and on the string with double sided tape. (An item I never would have owned or known the magic of were it not for this amazing blog!) Just wanted to say thank you for all your ideas. I seriously check every day to see if there’s something new. Thank you for helping me create memories with my kids!!!
