Our tools! Before shot.

And after!

Supplies:

1. Heart punches- or your own hand cut hearts.

2. Colored paper- we used colored text paper from Paper Source

3. Glue stick

4. Doilies- I got mine from Dollar Tree

5. Scissors

Let’s begin!

1. I had my daughter dab the glue stick onto the doilies over a sheet of paper. The glue goes through all of the cut out portion of the doily so be sure to have something underneath.

2. She pressed the doily onto the colored paper.

3. I then took my scissors and cut about 3/4″ around the doily.

4. She took a few heart cut outs and glued them on!

So simple and pretty! Aren’t the bright colors just darling?!

First we made garlands! Garlands of any kind just add so much joy to any blank space they are hung at don’t they?

Here’s what we used:

1. Heart Punch- you can just cut out your own heart if you don’t have one.

2. Hole punch- use a nail, pencil tip, awl if you don’t have one

3. Twine- any string on hand you have will do.

4. Yarn needle this is helpful if your little one is threading my daughter is 6 and twine frays easily so it makes things easier for small hands

Let’s begin!

1. Punch or cut your hearts out. My daughter loves this!
2. Mark two holes at the top of your heart and use your hole punch (nail, awl etc.)
3. Thread your yarn needle (or wrap a piece of tape to the tip of your string to prevent fraying) let your child string the hearts on.
4. Hang and enjoy!

Aren’t these so wonderfully magical? I had a variety of crafts set up for my daughter’s 6th birthday party

and putting together a fairy garden terrarium was one of them. It was surprisingly easy and a big hit! Step by step to follow so stay tuned!
