Will You Be My Paint Chip Valentine?

The girls and I were busy crafting up these handmade Valentine’s Day cards made from leftover paint chips (found free at any hardware or paint store). We had a bunch of different shades of red and pink, which made perfect Valentine cards!

To make your own paint chip Valentine’s, place two paint chips back-to-back as shown above.

I used a zig zag stitch around the perimeter of the card, and trimmed the edges with pinking shears. Very quick!

Emily and I took turns punching out hearts with the help of our heart-shaped hole puncher…

…and the girls went to town decorating their handmade Valentine’s! For Clara, I put down a few dots of glue and she placed the hearts on top. Great practice for fine-motor skills, and she was so proud of herself!

Emily got to practice some handwriting, and she is looking forward to mailing these off to Grandma!

These were so much fun to make!!
