We’re so excited to be welcoming back our fabulous contributor Julie who’s sharing an easy-peasy craft with us today as part of our ongoing Take 5: 5 Minute Crafts series!
Hi there At the Picket Fence friends! I’m so excited to drop in today with a 5-minute Valentine craft to help your kids share some love with friends, classmates, or teammates next month.
I love exchanging valentines but as my kids (and their class sizes) have grown I’ve realized that homemade valentines are only possible for us if they are fast, cheap, and easy. And since we are still working through our Halloween loot, a few non-edible valentines in my kids’ mailboxes are a welcome sight.
Supplies Needed
Valentine-themed balloons (I’ve found them at Target, Walmart & Amazon)
Valentine printable
Card stock
X-Acto knife or scissors
Assembly
After printing & cutting out the Valentine printable on card stock, use an Xacto knife or the edge of your scissor to cut a small slit above the word “SOAR” and insert a balloon.
With Valentine assembly this easy, the hardest part might be getting your kids to sign their name thirty times!
I’ve created a Printable version of the “You Make My Heart Soar” card and I’m happy to share it with you here!
Thanks for joining me for a Take 5 craft today and I’ll look forward to meeting you here at the Fence again soon,
What a cute idea! I think I’ll make these with my daughter because she’s at the age where balloons are the greatest thing since fruit snacks!
Thank you!
Anna
Absolutely adorable! Maybe for my “grand” ones?
I love the idea of quick projects like this. I could have used this project when my kids were young, because I’m from the school of “we make everything by hand.” Thanks.
OH, I am TOTALLY with you on being HAPPY to receive the non edible Valentines. Our kids eat a Low Sugar, Gluten Free diet. So we SMILE and LOVE these kind of Valentines. These are SO cute and I can’t wait to get the download and start printing. 🙂
SIDE NOTE: Is it just me or where our Valentines growing up MOSTLY cards, with some candy Occasionally thrown into the mix. I think I was robbed growing up 😉

Oh my goodness I LOVE this idea! Such a cute valentine! xo
These are so fun!! Pinning! xo
Love these… so adorable!
These are so cute! I wish I could do something like this but there is a latex allergy at my son’s school so no balloons allowed. I’ll come up with something else, but I love yours!
You are the best! These are so cute! Love the font you used!
Happy day to you!

There are so many wonderful DIY valentines out there and these two are at the top.
Blessings,

This is so adorable…I love the idea and love that it’s not candy…:)
Super cute idea – and what a fun play on words, I am so bad at coming up with those! But I guess I don’t have to because you did it for me with a printable! Thanks!
