Jen Goode · January 18, 2016 · 1 Comment

Make your own art inspired cards in no time with this Easy Valentines Craft. You don't have to know how to paint with watercolors and you can make this project in about 15 minutes! This is absolutely a kid safe project, so you can gather the family and get all artsy together. These cute watercolor valentines also make great handmade classroom Valentines your kids can make themselves and then give to their friends and classmates.

Watercolor Heart Cards

Materials:

  • Coffee filters
  • Waterbased markers (washable are best)
  • Scissors
  • Blank cards
  • Glue

Instructions:

MY LATEST VIDEOS
  1. Color the coffee filters with the markers. Make sure to color on a covered/protected surface, as the markers may bleed through.
  2. Once you've finished coloring the coffee filter, gently wet the coffee filter – making sure not to over wet. The water will make the color bleed. Shake off any excess water. The color will drip so be prepared with a paper plate or something else to set the coffee filter on to dry.
  3. Fold the dry coffee filter in half, then in half again, repeat 2 more times until you end up with the pie shape shown below.
  4. Cut out half a heart along the paper fold.

Voila!

Use the cut out heart to make your own handmade card or other Valentine's Day crafts.
