This is a Valentine's Day project Little Man and I did last year. It all started with a Crystal Light tube. I had the empty tube and thought "what can we do with this?". Of course, I then thought of decorating it as a vase. I cut up Valentines colored tissue paper into little squares. I mixed a little glue with some water and had little man attach it with his fingers. He HATED this. He hates glue. He hates getting his fingers dirty. I had to help him, but he did finish the job. He couldn't wait to be finished, but he finished.
Then, I drew out 8 hearts and gave him some paint to decorate them with.
I cut little slits in hearts and slipped green pipe cleaners in.
The "flowers" are a little curled up. This vase of beauty has been all over the house for a year now.
It was the centerpiece on the island for some time after we made it.
Then it made an appearance in the entry way.
Next, it had a short stay in K and G's bathroom.
It now has it's home in K's office.
I guess at the time, I didn't realize they were going to be around forever.
If you plan on keeping them as decorations for a while (and why wouldn't you??), you may want to laminate them or cover them with contact paper.
Adorable.
