Valentine's Day Banner Using Kids' Artwork

We have been having so much fun creating Valentine's crafts such as Valentine's Day Cards Using Shaving Cream and Hearts with Black Glue. Recently, we made a Valentine's Day Banner that has been brightening up our home. My favorite things about it? The fact that it was cheap (the whole thing cost $1) and that I was able to incorporate my kids' artwork in it.

Supplies you will need:

• Kids artwork - red paint and white paper, gift box, small balls like golf balls
• Doilies
• Glue
• Scissors
• Ribbon

Previously, I had the kids do some Golf Ball Painting. It was a fun activity and I was so happy with results that I thought I could use their artwork to create a Valentine's Day banner.

I bought some red doilies at the dollar store and cut the center solid heart out of one of them. I used that heart as a template and then traced hearts onto the dried golf ball paintings.  I then cut out the painted hearts and glued them to the middle of the doilies.  Next, I strung the doilies on some red polka dot ribbon that I had leftover from Christmas. 

Then I hung them on the mantle. These would look great in an entry way too.

The kids loved seeing their artwork as part of the banner.

I hope you enjoy making this Valentine's Day banner with your kids today.  No one will believe it just cost you $1.
