Glitter Heart Decorations

Only a few days till Christmas! Yikes...where has this year gone?

We have started our Summer Holidays and already I'm having to find activities for the kids...

So today I'm sharing a simple child friendly craft....

I had originally planned to neatly stitch these felt heart decorations, but time got away from me again and I decided the kids could help me out with glue and glitter..

What you need:

 Felt, ribbon, glue, glitter!

What to do:

Cut out the heart shapes x 2 (I used a wooden shape that I had).

Cut ribbon lengths and glue down on the wrong side of the felt.

Glue the second piece on top. Allow to dry.

Run a line of glue along the front of the heart making a heart shape.

Shake glitter over the glue and allow to dry, remove excess.

Oh my goodness - so easy!!!! I managed to get 6 hearts out of the piece of felt I had, but they are so cute I think I would like more for the tree....

Also how cute would these be as a quick last minute gift idea?

I prefer these to the decorations I had originally planned to do...

And best of all, the kids could help with this one!

Take care everyone,

Don't forget to follow me on Facebook :-)
