I love that you can really tweak this simple DIY in so many fun ways.\u00a0 I spent $1 on this DIY, purchasing the little cardboard heart box at the Dollar Tree.\u00a0 I will be using it for another DIY, but the lid was the perfect size for a heart template!\u00a0 I traced the lid onto my card stock paper.\u00a0 I chose to do the brown kraft paper, but again, you could change this to whatever color you wanted to use!\u00a0 It would be adorable in pink and red too!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I traced 12 hearts so that each child would have four to write on.\u00a0 After tracing, I cut out the hearts and punched a hole at the curve of each heart.<\/p>\n

The kids wrote something they love about each member of the family on their hearts.\u00a0 I had them use neutral colored pencils to keep the aesthetic of the mantel styling.\u00a0 Again, you could change these colors to fit whatever space you\u2019re styling!<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have children at home or your children are too young to write, this would also be really pretty with favorite scripture verses or quotes about love!<\/p>\n
One of my followers suggested that I write the year on the back of the hearts so I can save them.\u00a0 I think that is a great idea and I\u2019ll do just that!<\/p>\n

Gathering around the table for family dinners is always a highlight for us.\u00a0 And it almost always involves rounds of laughter, especially from our Addy!\u00a0 I thought it would be fun to create a special conversation box for our Valentine\u2019s dinner!<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t have a box, even a cute bowl would work great for this!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I cut small strips of white paper, though you could use any color that coordinates with your table d\u00e9cor.\u00a0 On each strip of paper, I wrote a writing prompt.\u00a0 I chose to do 10, giving each member of our family two chances.\u00a0 Here are some ideas to get you started!<\/p>\n
\n- One kind thing I did this week was ______<\/li>\n
- One kind thing someone did for me this week was _____<\/li>\n
- How can I show kindness to someone who isn\u2019t kind in return?<\/li>\n
- What is your favorite family memory from this year?<\/li>\n
- What is something our family could do better in showing love to each other?<\/li>\n
- What is something great our family does to show we love one another?<\/li>\n
- Who is a neighbor we could show some extra love to this week and how?<\/li>\n
- I can help my family this week by _____<\/li>\n
- I can show love at school\/work to my teacher\/co-worker this week by _____<\/li>\n
- What is a funny family memory from this year?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
I think this will be a fun and interesting way to focus our conversation around the topic of love and kindness as we celebrate this Valentine\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Valentines-Day-Craft-20210202-13-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Valentines Day Craft 20210202 (13)” admin_label=”Totes Image” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Closing” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n
These yarn-wrapped heart garlands are a popular choice for a simple DIY and I can see why!\u00a0 Rather than the typical red or pink yarn, I opted to use white yarn.\u00a0 Again, looking for ways to add subtle touches of the holiday while still blending in with the overall style and look of our home!<\/p>\n
To start off, I drew a heart about 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide and cut it out of cardboard. I traced the heart 6 times for a total of 7 hearts.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Valentines-Day-Craft-20210202-14-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Valentines Day Craft 20210202 (14)” admin_label=”Totes Image” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Closing” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n
I used about 3 yards of yarn per heart and simply wrapped the yarn around the cardboard heart. I made sure to rotate the yarn around the heart so it wasn’t to bunched or bulky in any one spot. I just tucked the end of the yarn under other pieces of yearn. You could hot glue it to make sure it will stay well, but I didn’t think it was necessary.<\/p>\n
I then took twine and threaded it through the back of the hearts. Simply hang where ever will look lovely in your home!<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Valentines-Day-Craft-20210202-15-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Valentines Day Craft 20210202 (15)” admin_label=”Totes Image” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Closing” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n
I love how this turned out.\u00a0 Sweet, simple, and lots of texture!\u00a0 I plan to add it to our girls\u2019 room after Valentine\u2019s Day, so it will get a lot of use, long after the holiday!<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Valentines-Day-Craft-20210202-17-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Valentines Day Craft 20210202 (17)” admin_label=”Totes Image” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Closing” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n
I hope this inspires you to carve out a little bit of creative time and make something simple to help you decorate for the holiday!\u00a0 It\u2019s a great chance to get kids involved or just relax for cozy night in, crafting with a favorite movie and cup of coffee\u2026or sneak a few Valentine\u2019s chocolates!<\/p>\n

I used about 3 yards of yarn per heart and simply wrapped the yarn around the cardboard heart. I made sure to rotate the yarn around the heart so it wasn’t to bunched or bulky in any one spot. I just tucked the end of the yarn under other pieces of yearn. You could hot glue it to make sure it will stay well, but I didn’t think it was necessary.<\/p>\n
I then took twine and threaded it through the back of the hearts. Simply hang where ever will look lovely in your home!<\/p>\n

Gathering around the table for family dinners is always a highlight for us.\u00a0 And it almost always involves rounds of laughter, especially from our Addy!\u00a0 I thought it would be fun to create a special conversation box for our Valentine\u2019s dinner!<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t have a box, even a cute bowl would work great for this!<\/p>\n

I cut small strips of white paper, though you could use any color that coordinates with your table d\u00e9cor.\u00a0 On each strip of paper, I wrote a writing prompt.\u00a0 I chose to do 10, giving each member of our family two chances.\u00a0 Here are some ideas to get you started!<\/p>\n
- \n
- One kind thing I did this week was ______<\/li>\n
- One kind thing someone did for me this week was _____<\/li>\n
- How can I show kindness to someone who isn\u2019t kind in return?<\/li>\n
- What is your favorite family memory from this year?<\/li>\n
- What is something our family could do better in showing love to each other?<\/li>\n
- What is something great our family does to show we love one another?<\/li>\n
- Who is a neighbor we could show some extra love to this week and how?<\/li>\n
- I can help my family this week by _____<\/li>\n
- I can show love at school\/work to my teacher\/co-worker this week by _____<\/li>\n
- What is a funny family memory from this year?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
I think this will be a fun and interesting way to focus our conversation around the topic of love and kindness as we celebrate this Valentine\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n

These yarn-wrapped heart garlands are a popular choice for a simple DIY and I can see why!\u00a0 Rather than the typical red or pink yarn, I opted to use white yarn.\u00a0 Again, looking for ways to add subtle touches of the holiday while still blending in with the overall style and look of our home!<\/p>\n
To start off, I drew a heart about 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide and cut it out of cardboard. I traced the heart 6 times for a total of 7 hearts.<\/p>\n
