To Make Crafts:
Craft:
Scented Valentines
Supplies:
Construction Paper
Scissors
Markers, crayons
Glue or Stapler
Cotton Balls
Perfume
Take 2 pieces of construction paper and cut out
2 very large hearts at the same time. The large
the hearts the better.
Decorate the one side of each Valentine.
Spray perfume on cotton balls.
Staple or glue around edges of hearts, leaving an opening at the point.

Craft: Valentine Wax Tarts
Contributor:
Tee
Supplies:
Old candles stubs or candle stubs
Stove, double boiler - Project
requires Adult Supervision
Aluminum pie pan
Cookie cutters
Melt candle stubs in a double boiler. (You can
also use candle wax and add your own scents)
When the wax is melted, pour into a shallow
dish. (I recycle aluminum pie pans for this)
When the wax starts to cool, cut out heart
shapes using a cookie cutter. The wax
tarts can be heated in potpouri pots to scent a
room.

Styrofoam Wreath
Red Cellophane Paper

Cut out different sized hearts from the
construction paper.
Decorate wreath - you have several options here:

vary - the add hearts
No matter your method have fun and be creative.
