DIY Heart Doilies: Cut your own for Valentine's Day

DIY Heart Doilies - a fun valentine craft like cutting snowflakes

I
love all the doilies that pop up around Valentine's Day.  They are so pretty and fun to use on cards and as decorations.  I know they are super cheap to buy, but if you are looking for some last minute homemade Valentine fun, grab some construction paper, scissors, and a hole punch and make your own.

Cut your own Doilies for Valentine's Day

Heart Doilies are super easy  to cut and you can get as creative as you'd like.  I started by folding a piece of construction paper in half and cutting a heart out of it. Then I pretended I was making snow flakes and cut shapes out of the middle.   I used a hole punch to create a pretty doily effect.

  1. Love these Valentine ideas! Super cute, and thanks for the tutorial. I was baffled by the initial look on how to reproduce. Will do these with my kids this year!
