Valentine's Day Apron Craft Project

This simple craft project makes perfect gift">the perfect gift for kids to give to Mom or Dad for Valentine's Day. Sometimes the handmade crafts are the best gifts a kid can give their partners. This simple Valentine's Day craft is great for children about 7 years old and up.

You can make this simple Valentine's Day inspired kitchen apron in less than an hour. You should aspect to pay about $20 or less to make it.

To Make This Simple Valentine's Day Candy Inspired Apron You Will Need:

1 Red apron

Felt to Fun Foam (pink or purple or yellow)

Pencil

Chalk

Scissors

The first step is to cut out your heart shape to trace onto the apron. Simply fold your paper in half and draw the half outline of a heart. Cut it out and open it up.

You can make this heart as tall as you want. Play around with making a tall narrow heart and short fat hearts. You can also play around with making more than one candy heart on the apron.

Use you r heart patterns to trace onto the fun foam or felt. I like to trace the hearts with chalk because it is easy to wipe away when you are finished cutting the heart out.

Simply lay your pattern on the fu foam and trace it out.

Now, cut out the heart shapes.

Next, start gluing the Valentine's Day candy hearts onto the red apron. You can use fabric glue to adhere the hearts onto the fabric.

Let this dry completely before you move onto the next step. I find that the hearts tend to move when little kids try to write on them if the glue is not dry.

Now, take your red puff paint and start writing words in the candy hearts, just like the real kind.

You can write:

Be Mine

I'm Yours

LOVE

Your Sweet

The possibilities are endless. You can also write the name of the person you will be giving the Valentine's Day apron gift to.

You are refinished!

You can find solid colored aprons at Bed Bath and Beyond as ell as in the clothing parts of the arts and craft store. I see them in Michaels Arts and Craft Store all the time for about $6.

Tips: Don't feel limited to candy inspired Valentine's hearts. You can cu tone large heart out and glue it on the apron. Decorate the heart in any way you choose. You can make the heart a face and add some pipe cleaner arms and legs.
