Here is a great craft activity for the whole family in this month of Valentine's Day: paper heart doilies painted in a choice of rainbow colors, strung to make a beautiful suncatcher in your window!
Materials needed:
You’ll need watercolor paints, paintbrushes, heart-shaped doilies (available in craft stores), yarn, and tape.
Set up for painting on a tray or plate, and provide a cup of water and a paper towel for rinsing the brush.
Paint The Hearts using a variety of colors and splashes.
Set the hearts aside to dry. The paper is thin so it will dry very quickly.
String Hearts into a garland using a long strand of the yarn. Weave the yarn through a hole at the top and again at the bottom of the heart creating a long vertical line of beautiful painted hearts. All the holes in the doily make it super easy to do this step.
Tape or tie them in a window, and watch the sun shine through!
