Valentines Day is such a fun day to share with friends, kids, and loved ones. Show your love with an easy valentines craft project like this DIY conversation heart pinata! They are a colorful touch to your home decor, make great photo booth props, or even a fun way to send a Valentines Day care package.

February is heart month – a time to bring awareness to heart health. A local photographer offers mini photography sessions to former heart patients and asked me to help with creative ideas for a backdrop and props. What screams fun for valentines more than a Conversation Heart Pinata?

As a mom of boys, I knew it would awesome to bring in some other colors besides red and pink. We made a fun backdrop using plastic table cloths cut into strips for a fun fringe effect and then made pinata conversation hearts as photo props! They were really simple to make and I have had a few questions about them so I figured I would share a tutorial with you!

Equipment

  • Cricut Explore Air

Materials

  • Cardboard – reuse some amazon boxes from your stash!
  • Box cutter
  • Packing Tape
  • Ruler
  • Glue gun
  • Glue sticks these are my all time favorites
  • Felt
  • Cardstock

Instructions

  • Create a heart stencil out of paper or cardstock. Place on top of cardboard and cut out two heart shapes.
  • Cut 2 inch wide strips of cardboard
  • Attach 2 inch strips to heart shapes with tape. I used scotch tape but wish I would have used packing tape. Bend and curve the cardboard to heart shape.
  • If filling the heart, fill with toys, candy, confetti, notes, or whatever else you would like to include.
  • Tape the second heart on top to close the box.
  • Cut 1.5 inch felt pieces and cut fringes along the length. Start at the bottom section of the heart and add rows to cover the entire heart.
  • Add additional rows of felt fringe down the sides.
  • Finish it off by snipping edges off the fringe so it separates the pieces a bit. This helps them to not lay completely flat and look more 3-dimensional. Use hot glue to stick down any pieces that don’t look right.
  • Cut out letters from cardstock using a digital cutting machine – I used my Cricut Explore Air two (my favorite tool in my craft room). Cut out any phrase you would like!
  • Glue letters onto the heart.

Brooke - Brooklyn Berry Designs

Hey, I’m Brooke!

I am a mom to 4 boys in Calgary, Alberta.  I love learning how things are made, singing to the radio loudly, and can’t stop talking. Fueled by diet coke and chaos, I can often be found working on a project.  You can hang out here for craft ideas and tips, games and activities to do with kids, plus FREE svg files and printables.
