Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show love with handmade crafts! This heart decoration is simple, colorful, and fun for kids to make. With flowers, butterflies, or tissue paper designs, each heart becomes a special gift to say “Happy Mother’s Day” in a creative way.

What You Need

  • Printed heart templates (big colored heart + small white heart)
  • Crayons or markers
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Colored paper (flowers, butterflies, hearts, circles, etc.)
  • Tissue paper (optional)
  • Shape cutters (optional, for easy cutouts)
  • Black marker (for writing messages)
  • Ribbon or string (for hanging)
  • Hole punch

How to Make

  1. Make the heart base
    • Print a big heart on colored paper and a smaller heart on white paper.
    • Cut them out and paste the small white heart inside the big colored heart.
  2. Decorate the big heart
    • Print or cut out flowers, butterflies, hearts, or circles from colored paper.
    • You can also tear tissue paper into pieces for decoration.
    • Or, use shape cutters to quickly make paper cutouts instead of templates.
    • Paste these around the colored big heart, leaving the white heart empty.
  3. Add your message
    • Use a black marker to write inside the white heart:
      • “Happy Mother’s Day”
      • “Love You Mom”
      • Or any sweet message you like.
  4. Finish and hang
    • Punch a hole at the top of the heart.
    • Attach a ribbon loop to hang it on the wall.
