Looking for a sweet, simple, and totally personalized craft to create at home? This blowing love hearts craft is the perfect idea for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or just because!
Using a photograph of your child, some colorful paper, and a bit of creativity, you’ll be making a keepsake that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Plus, it’s so easy that you don’t even need a printable template – just grab your materials and follow along with our step-by-step tutorial. We also have a video tutorial included for those who find it easier to watch visually.
To get started, gather your materials: scissors, construction paper, glue, a marker, and of course, a printed photo of your little one.
Begin by cutting out the picture of your child – this will be the star of your card! Attach it to the front of the card. Next, cut out a variety of hearts in different sizes and colors from the construction paper. These hearts will appear to be ‘blown’ from your child’s hand, making the whole design extra adorable, and will also give the finished blowing hearts craft a 3D effect which makes it even cuter.
Once you’ve arranged and glued down the hearts, add some fun doodles with a marker. These little details, such as swirls and stars, add a playful touch to your craft.
What makes this blowing kisses art so lovely is how personal it is. Since it uses your child’s photo, the final result feels meaningful and unique.
