This heart button craft is a colorful and pretty Valentine craft and can be a fun learning activity for kids too!
I know I said the Valentine Tissue Wreath was one of my favorite Valentines craft, but this button craft is my favorite!
I absolutely love how this looks on my mantel right now. It glimmers and shines in the light. And it’s such a fun project to work on together.
Henry started with sorting buttons in a muffin tin. (I was planning on only using reds, pinks, and whites.)
This would be a great way activity for older toddlers learning colors, I’ve shared a bunch of toddler learning activities for colors, shapes, letters and numbers.
What you’ll need to make this Heart Button Craft:
- 1 Red 12×12 piece of scrapbook paper
- 1 Pink 12×12 piece of scrapbook paper
- School Glue
- Buttons in all different colors and sizes (the brighter the better!)
I cut out a large heart shape from the red piece of 12×12 scrapbook paper and made a swirl design in glue around and around the shape of the heart. (No need for a heart template, just cut a simple heart!)
Henry just added buttons as he liked all around the heart until it was filled up. I joined him in adding buttons just as an activity for us to do together.
Henry wouldn’t have it with my previously mentioned color selection and used every single color.
But I think that adds a lot of character to the heart as compared to if it was all reds and pinks. This surely brightens it up a lot!
Then I glued the completed button heart onto the pink piece of scrapbook paper at and angle to make it fit nicely and then propped it up against a picture frame on my mantel… and its oh-so-pretty.
For older kids, you could draw a heart outline to have them cut out, or have them outline the edge of the heart with glue to add buttons to. Design this button heart craft however they’d like!
This is such an easy craft to add some Valentine’s Day Decor! Check out some of our other Valentine’s Day Projects here.
