Heart Mobile!

Hey guys! Valentines day is around the corner so we are going to make a Heart Mobile! This is great to hang down from your ceiling and is a great February craft! Although you can make this with any shape, I am going to teach you with hearts!

Materials
    White Bright Butterfly Mobile KIT-DIY-Great Craft Project
  • Large hoop
  • String
  • Red or pink construction paper
  • Ribbon
  • Scissor
  • Glue gun
Now we are ready to start! First, cut out four pieces of ribbon. Each should be about a foot long. Next, find the middle of one string and place the middle on the hoop so it wraps around. Do this with each ribbon and tie all of them together on the top just like the picture. In addition, take the construction paper and cut about 100 small hearts. After, cut out different sizes of string and make them long enough so you can hang them up on the mobile. Cut about 50 strings Furthermore, take the glue gun and glue the small hearts to different parts of the string. Hang them up and down so it is filled with hearts!

More importanly, let it dry and then glue the top of each string to the hoop with the hot glue gun. Let it dry again. This project takes about three hours. The longest step is when you need to cut out about 100 hearts. The part where you cut the string is long as well. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN! :o)
