These are super cute, easy to make and would
make great Valentine decorations. Grab your kiddos
and supplies and have some fun for a bit.
What you'll need:
rainbow coloured paper
scissors
PVA glue
bright coloured ribbon
pegs
Create:
Begin by cutting the coloured paper into 3cm
wide strips. To make a rainbow decoration like ours,
you’ll need two strips in each of the following colors: purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red
paper strips. But you can mix and match different
colors together depending on what you have at home.
Now you need to cut the rainbow of paper strips
into varying lengths. If you want to have purple
on the outside, that should be the longest strip
and every color after that needs to be at least
2cm shorter than the last.
On one of the shortest red strips, dab a little glue
on the ends and press together to form a
tear shape. Continue dabbing glue onto the
ends of the orange strip and form the tear
shape this time around the red one. Repeat until
you’ve used up all the colors in that set of strips.
Create a second teardrop with the rest of the
rainbow paper strips.
Between gluing you might need to use the pegs
to keep the teardrop base together, or simply place
the pegs on at the end whilst the glue dries.
Once dry, remove the pegs. Cut a length of ribbon
to about 30cm and fold in half to create a loop.
Apply some glue on one side of each of the teardrops
and sandwich the ribbon in-between. Press the
teardrop shapes together until they look like a heart
and peg together to dry.
