Tissue Paper Valentine Art

I am pretty sure I feel the need to do crafts for Valentine's Day thanks to blogging and Pinterest. I have really enjoyed coming up with a few projects this year.  The first one I am going to share is this simple Ombre Tissue Paper Art.  


I had all of the materials already here at home to make this project. If you know my situation right now you'll know how great that is for me. I do not think there is a cart big enough at Michaels for all my kiddos right now, and it would probably be a three hour round trip from start to finish. Alas, I will save my few outings alone for the grocery store and Target.


I took three sheets of tissue paper and cut it into small 1 inch squares. I used a pencil to place the tissue paper around the eraser, and then I dipped  the tissue paper in some glue. I placed each piece of tissue paper in the shape of a heart on a canvas. 
Then I simply cut out pieces of some scrapbook paper and covered them in some glitter to make my arrow.


It took hardly any time to complete, and I think that it turned out pretty cute! It is definitely very kid friendly too. I think I could make this for various holidays down the road. Enjoy your day!

    Hmm my comment didn't publish, but I love this I think Elizabeth could do this and it's pretty for a girls room after valentines day. Btw, I NEVER take my lot craft shopping, except for Elizabeth or I'd never get anything done either!

    I love the ombre look to it. This would be cute for a little girl's room and the possibility of colors is endless.

    I was SO inspired by your adorable project! I used your method to make my own Valentine's Day "wreath." My post will be up later this week! I hope you don't mind if I share a photo of your project as well, since I am mentioning you as the inspiration for my project!
