Cool Crepe Paper Valentine Heart

Today's Craft: Cool Crepe Paper Valentine Heart

Create a wonderful crepe paper heart with crepe paper and pipecleaners.

To make this craft project you will need colored crepe paper (red, pink, or whatever you wish), a number of red pipecleaners, and some scissors. To begin, take some of your red pipecleaners and lace them together to create a long length. The bigger the length, the larger your heart will be. Now cut a long piece of crepe paper and push and weave it onto the pipecleaner section so it creates beautiful, colorful crepe paper folds. Fill up your pipecleaner this way, leaving about 1/2 inch at each end empty. When you have done this, bend the pipecleaner into a heart and twist the ends together securely. Happy Valentine's Day. Enjoy Crafting!
