Valentines Day Crafts Ideas: Craft Sticks Projects
Valentine’s Day is not just a day for romance and lovers strolling hand in hand contemplating the stars. At our house it is about celebrating the love we have for each other as a family. That loves extends to our friends and extended family members also. Very rarely do my husband and I disappear for a “Valentine’s Date Night” instead we celebrate it with our children because family is what love is all about. We make cards, special treats and even homemade gifts for each other. Our favorite gifts are craft sticks projects because the options are endless and you can use them in so many different ways. My daughter took the lead already this year and created a sparkly butterfly for her Valentines Day Craft Ideas: Craft Sticks Projects.

Glue Stick or Elmers Glue

Now to Make Your Craft Sticks Projects
1. Cut out the hearts and flip one upside down and glue together.
2. Pick out 2 craft sticks and glue in the center of the hearts. Depending on the size of the hearts you may need to center them in the middle from top to bottom also. This is the “body”.
3. Glue 2 googly eyes at the top of the butterfly on either side of the craft sticks.
4. Decorate the wings of the butterflies with gems, buttons, or other accents. (Set them on without glue till you know where you want them all to go.)
5. Once your design is complete – glue them on.
6. If you want to turn into a puppet, glue 2 more craft sticks to the back side so you can easily move it. If not let sit over night to dry and hang your decoration on display.
This Craft Sticks Projects is so simple my daughter made several of them and gave them away as Valentine’s to her close friends.
