Valentine gift idea

I Saw this and thought it was a nice idea for children to make for loved ones. You could really have fun with this idea.  Put a picture inside or draw your own. You could also jot down a special memory your child has with their loved one...

Easy Valentine Heart Locket
Need:
  • Foam Hearts  1 1/2 - 2 1/2 inch diameter (or cut from craft foam)
  • Small glitter Heart  (or other small heart)
  • Pens, Photos, Glue
  • Cording, approx 24 " each
  • Hole Punch
  • Scissors
What To Do:
  1. Punch hole in 3 large Hearts
  2. Glue small Heart onto front Heart.
  3. For 2nd and 3rd Heart, let kids draw a picture, write a note or paste a small photo of themself onto the Heart.
  4. Set Hearts on top of each other in correct order, then thread cording through holes.
  5. Make a knot close to top of Hearts, not too tight as you want the Hearts to slide sideways or pull apart to see inside of 2nd and 3rd hearts.
  6. Tie ends of cording together and your Valentine Heart Locket is ready to give.
