Looking for a fun new DIY?

How about a Valentines prop project?

And what about a backdrop banner?!

YES, thought so!

I went into my local Joann crafts looking for a fun lil project for my little ones and I… and thought “hmm, home craft + photography prop = PERFECTION”!
And there I found a simple idea for a great prop.

I scooped up some valentines foam hearts (on sale for 40% off). They have an outer heart with a middle solid heart cut out… easy and simple!
Snatched up some raffia ribbon that I already had at home… along with a package of cupcake scrap booking stickers.
grabbed my hole punch… and got crafting!

I used, again:

• foam hearts
• raffia (or any other ribbon)
• scrap booking sticker (if wanted)
• hole punch
• and of course… my little helpers!

STEP BY EASY STEP…  first I sepearted my hearts… outer heart from inner heart.

1. Hole punched (1) hole in the corner of each small solid heart
   and (2) holes in the outer rim of the larger hearts…
2. Cut my raffia roughly from arms length to arms length
   (stretching one arm to the other with ribbon in hand) and
   Then, I pulled my ribbon through the holes in each heart,
   varying from small to large, and by colors…
3. Lastly I had my lil helper stick the cupcake scrap stickers on the small solid hearts…

And here is our final prop!

A darling Valentines banner!
Plus we had enough left over to make 2 more banners for our house..
family fun + a new prop for me

SCORE!
