Valentine’s Day dessert toppers
Dress up dessert by creating heart shaped toppers. We chose to go with cupcakes, but they’ll work great with almost any treat!
Supplies:
Cardboard
Craft paper
Toothpicks or small dowel rod
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Step 1: Cut out cardboard hearts. Tip: If you have a heart shaped cookie cutter, use it as a stencil for perfect heart shapes.
Step 2: Cover the cardboard in craft paper. We selected a variety of designs to make our cupcakes more playful.
Step 3: Push your toothpick into the bottom of the cardboard heart. You may need a small amount of hot glue to secure it in place.
Step 4: Pop them into the tops of your dessert and enjoy!
Pom-pom wreath
Supplies:
1 small box
Scissors or box cutter
Yarn
Hot glue gun
Step 1: Begin by drawing one large heart on the side of your box. Then, draw a slightly smaller one inside of that. Cut along each heart outline.
Step 2: Using the method above, create several pom-poms to cover your heart. We used 17 larger pom-poms to cover our wreath.
Step 3: Secure the poms-poms down using a hot glue gun.
Step 4: Use a piece of yarn at the top of your wreath to create a hook to hang it.
We hope these DIY’s get you in the spirit of Valentine’s Day! Show us your DIY crafts by tagging us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
