How to Make It:
- Print & Color: Print the heart and umbrella templates on white paper. Let kids color them using crayons, markers, or color pencils—bright, bold, and full of love!
- Cut Out the Shapes: Carefully cut out each heart and the umbrella shape.
- Strengthen with Cardboard: Glue each paper piece onto the cardboard. Once dry, cut around the shapes again to match the outlines. This gives your craft a sturdy, handmade feel.
- Attach the Hanging Strings: Flip the umbrella over. Tape or glue yarn, ribbon, or string to the bottom edge—these will hold your hearts. Make sure they hang straight and evenly spaced.
- Add the Hearts: Paste your colored hearts along the hanging strings. You can use tape or strong glue to keep them secure.
